Allow me to explain the Report a Post Feature

[Roy Focker]

If you read any topic here you may notice that under each post is a button to Report it. These reports are emailed directly to the moderators and are highlighted on the control panel when we visit Macross World. This feature is intended for members to Report something serious.

Here's the problem. Some members have been using it as a can you fix this for me button. Don't use that button to Report your request to change the title of your topic, to delete a double post, to delete your for sale topic. That is not what it is for. If members keep using the feature for the wrong purpose than the Moderators will start ignoring these reports.

If members keep using the feature for the wrong purpose than the Moderators will start ignoring these reports more than we already do.

Fixed.

But seriously--yes, this has been a growing problem. "Report a post" should really only be used for a post that is actually causing trouble and needs immediate attention--as in, this needs to be deleted before any more people read it and the poster should be warned/banned.
