It's not there. Hmmm i don't see it anywhere by the bottom of my screen name :weird: everyone else has a Report Bad Post Icon i see. I must be special
I agree. Being able to document an abuse report helps a moderator justify deleting or editing a post if it's a borderline case. It's also helpful in drawing attention to a bad post that is inconspicuous because of its location.Vladislaus Dracula said:On the matter of reporting posts, I'd like to point out that its an UNDER-used feature. No one should like having to use it or be afraid to or ashamed if its warranted, but its an essential tool that more people need to utilize.
If more people report posts it makes it easier for moderators to respond to them more readily rather than them having to comb through each thread (something that should be done often anyway).
The only problem with reporting is that there is a potential abuse of it, but since reports require an explaination for the report, it makes it possible for moderators to better percieve a situation and perhaps see the report as legitimate.
