We sometimes get submissions of reports that are still in progress. AKA. Live reports. Sometimes these can work out fine, but the majority of the time, they are never completed, and are in a messy state for people to read. They also get quite a bit of bad unwanted attention, from people flaming the thread.
So to bypass all these troubles, the moderators of the forum and the administrators have decided to now close and reject incomplete/live reports.
It is much better to open a word processor or notepad, take notes of the experience, then put it together when you've came down, with lots of detail!
We really appreciate quality reports, so don't think your efforts have gone to waste. You also get to keep a bit of history by writing this experience down to remember at a later date.
Remember moderators are always able to read over your report before you submit it if you wish, Just email it or send it in a private message (it may not fit all though..)
Update:
Also, I'd also like to request that if you are going to add in parts of your IM conversations as part of your report, that's fine, but no block "cut and paste", as in, you can't just copy and paste your entire conversation and post it as it. That's not a report. Use your conversation parts in relation to your report. Cheers!
