Report this post to a moderator

[Sparrowhawk]

I generally only report a post when it is an obvious spam advertisement, but every time I do I wonder if I am the 100th person to report it (and make the Mod's needlessly receive 100 reports).

On another forum I frequent, the words "Post is Reported" appear on a post that has been reported. Is it possible for the same to be done here so that once a post has been reported the readers know it is not necessary to report it again?

Very good idea.

[Skanky Burns]

Better communication is always a good thing, and it reduces work for the mods / admin in the longrun. Certainly a good idea.

[MarkG]

i'd say that the amount and content of reports are also helpfull, so...

[Ecthy]

I agree with Mark.

I usually report anything that is posted by the usual suspect spammers, ie Winston, Lancer, Asher...

[Winston]

Very funny Ecthy..

Didn't you mention you were going to ask for your login to be permanently disabled? When exactly is this long-awaited forum improvement due?

[Ming]

Now now children...

[Ecthy]

Winston: post reported

[DrSpike]

I would have thought that it is precisely getting multiple reports that would tell the admin/mod that it wasn't just some idiot reporting posts from people they don't like.

This could be useful

Oh, I thought these were auto-reported as soon as posted?

Nah, doing that would just cause their spam filters on their mailbox to work overtime.

Just double-checking

I doubt that.

[Skanky Burns]

It doesn't matter anyway. Spam filters don't get paid overtime rates.

Ok, how many have actually reported this thread? (I know I came within an inch of doing so. )
