I may have accidently reported myself or someone.

The tablet device I use was slow loading and I was touching the screen and I saw a flash of a green "Report" button... I hope I didn't accidently report myself or anyone else. I did quickly try to touch the back button thing so it may not have happened. If it did report I am very sorry as I never intend to report any of you lovely people.

I doubt you reported anyone. There's screen that comes up after you click Report where you select the reason your reporting it & then you have to submit again.

Ah. Good. I have not then.

You have nothing to worry about until the moderators show up at your door with their SWAT uniforms and truncheons.

Just joking!

I think I intentionally reported myself before because I was misbehaving.

Sometimes (like the present) I need to cool it and let it go.

Aww. That made me chuckle.
I get wound up at times though I am never actually agressive. It is more of me having a moan. Haha. Though I am more quiet as a person... Apart from when I talk.

I’m really quiet in person and hate to make waves. Maybe that makes me worse on here.

You're doing fine. Keep on being you! Relax. All is good.

You have to specify WHY you want to report someone.

Just pushing the REPORT button will not do anything at all.

I think I need to delete this odd little keyboard macro I have which auto-fills: "A two-year campaign of racist harrasment and glorification of terrorism, recently escalating to credible death threats against my entire family" if you hit F9 at the wrong moment. (I think it was for my tax return or something?)

I remember a couple decades ago when computers were really, really slow. Every now and then someone would inadvertently hit the "delete" key. Then on the screen would appear a message "This file has been deleted" and then a second later "That file has been deleted". Then after around 10 such messages one realized that the person had done a global delete and all their files were being deleted in slow motion. Panic would set in at this point. HOW DO I STOP THIS??? would run through the mind.

Generally one would turn off the computer at this point and try and pick up the pieces on the other side.

Has anyone accidently reported themselves?

You too. Ehhh....?

Not at all.

There is usually a confirm button a new page pops up asking you why you are reporting it.

I have hit report buttons by mistake online and you know what pops up? A new screen with why am I reporting it and to select an option or a type screen pops up and I need to select an option and type in a comment about why am I reporting the comment.

Websites admins understand mistakes happen so a new screen will always pop up asking you what is your reason for the report.

I am not sure if that is the case here, I have never hit the report button here because I am used to the old way.

Yep it is like that here thou I've always reported from my desktop so I cant confirm if it works that way with the mobile version of WP but i would assume so if I had to guess. Most of the time i reported because the thread was in the wrong section like a thread about sex was posted in L&D instead of Adult or a thread about coping with autism was posted in Adult when GAD, Haven, Members, &,or Older Adults section would be better. I haven't felt the need to report many members for being a$$holes(like trolling, flaming, spamming) cuz most members here don't want to cause problems(I know seems ironic considering what some NTs say about us but lots of non-autism sites have more problems) & the mods here tend to be on top of things when members start getting out of line. I never really went in the PPR section thou but I hear it's the worst for problems but I'd bet NTs are much worse when they discuss those types of things, look at the way politicians & religious groups hate on anyone who doesn't agree with em.
