Appealing for two WP reversals.
Basically someone has been reporting almost everyone's posts in the Kesha base (for no apparent reason).
First post:

This is not flamebait. It's the Kesha base, I'm pretty sure no one's going to take much legitimate offence to a Carly Rae flop joke when Kesha's not exactly in the best position either. And it was obviously a joke, since the page over Doogle and I were discussing how good Carly's album actually is.
Also this one,

Not sure which part was being reported as both are equally non-Flamebait. If it was the first part, that's just silly. Since when is calling a song tacky WP-worthy? I didn't see the WPs flying when everyone was calling the Dark Horse MV tacky or Roar a tacky rip off of Brave?
If it's the second part then how is jokingly calling someone extra for posting in an array of colors tacky? It is literally extra work than everyone else. Like it's not even a lie.
A definition of flamebait I found from a simple Google search:
Quote:

1) Flame bait is a message posted to a public Internet discussion group, such as a forum, newsgroup or mailing list, with the intent of provoking an angry response (a "flame") or argument over a topic the "troll" (original poster provoking angry response) often has no real interest in, and finds humour, or entertainment in reactions.

Nothing of what I posted falls under this. I was not intending to provoke anyone, and I wasn't fishing for an arguement. Everyone involved knew that it was all in fun. I don't see why some non-involved, potentially non-English (well) speaker who may not understand these innocent social banters should achieve success in seeing their reports fulfilled. In fact, I think
that fits the description of Flamebait that I posted a lot better, reporting just for the satisfaction of seeing them warned, and wanting a reaction from it such as this one. Only instead of posting it in the Base, I'm posting it here.
I think that for the most part the Mods do a good job of keeping the things on the site fair, but I think that this is just a little too far, and is more appealing to the trigger-happy reporter than actually being fair to the members on the site. I also know someone else who was warned and only received Reminders. I'm not sure why they weren't warned and I was when we were saying literally the same things.
