Reporting posts asking for help on unsupported OS's?

I've seen a few forum posts asking for help where they explicitly state they're using another distribution, or sometimes keep it quiet but their console output gives them away. Should I use the report button on these threads or is that meant for more pressing matters?


I think I know enough to know I don't know enough.

Please do report them. As well as any other etiquette violations you find.  smile

Just consider offending posts as pieces of rubbish that clutter your street because some neighbours care only about themselves, have you deep where the sun never comes and throw their garbage all over the place. Then just call cleaning service and don’t feel bad about that. Anyway, the authors of such posts don’t feel bad about what they do, and they rarely care about you or the Arch community.


Sometimes I seem a bit harsh — don’t get offended too easily!

I like this idea. Even though it's in the shape of a sad face, it's garbage.
