Dunno if this belongs in this area... but how about a "report post" button of some sort to report spam/rule-breaking posts for forum posts?

That would be a neat little feature. I've seen it on other forums. Perhaps the new release of the software we're using will have it. For now, you can just copy the link to the thread and PM it to any mod (JenniferMarie, Steelhorse, AndyDufresne, Twill, moz976, or wicked).

i've moderated several forums before, all with this option.. misuse generally just means "more to read" but not really more to "do"... if you see 20 reports from a certain user and the first 5 are all bogus or 'misuse', then it's easier to shift to the other ones to look for true reported posts to handle...rebelman wrote:it actually can be painful, they had this feature in another site i used and it was crazy the amount of times this feature was misusedwicked wrote:That would be a neat little feature.

I just checked, and the newest version just released, which we'll be upgrading to in the near future, does indeed have "report posts" as an option.

maybe you could enact a "boy who called wolf" rule and just ignore anyone who abuses it X amount of times?
