Report button?

I read that people can report others people's post if they think it violates the rules. Where is this report button supposed to be? I cant see it for some reason. I dont want to report anyone, btw, just curious.

It's the Triangle with the "!" in the middle, right next to your icon that showes if the person is on or not.

Oh, you mean the button that takes any staff member to a heated game of Blackjack? Actually that button doesn't exist! It's all in your mind.. an illusion of MSPaint!

It is on the left side under the posters system specs and it is a red triangle with an exclamation.

Edit: No fair, you guys type too fast!

Yes, we do. Why wouldn't we? I don't understand where you are trying to go with this, but I have no problems answering your questions. If I didn't want to do anything about my duties as a moderator, I wouldn't be a moderator. I guess it's as simple as that.

I find that the little triangle works very well and I have had action each time. They don't let you personally know, it would eat up all their time. Overall the Mods and such do a good job and you should be thankful they give of their time to handle some of the cr*p that goes on here.

Thanks erocker, for your time.

It's called baiting.

Only the mods are too wise for that now.

Anyway KBD, I believe your question was succesfully answered. Do you require this thread anymore?

Did I not tell you to be quite also know as stop posting? Next time you get banned you will not be coming back, I would keep that in mind considering how clear I have made it that I am weary of your constantly trying to pick fights with the staff.

in the past i have used the "report post button" and nothing had been done, like i said MAYBE thing's have changed.

but by judging polaris' post i'm not so shure.

for the record i am NOT baiting/picking any argument's with anyone, i merely speak the truth.

The truth, look at the number of replies, that means your report got discussed. And because I too support the truth I'll give you an insight of what has been discussed in those cases. It's mostly "ah, no, not again" , "what does he have to bitch this time?" The reported post by me shows up in the search because I reported you.


I'm not completely sure why the report post button is available under reported posts. But you have to admit, it results in fairly interesting situations.

Was it a joke? No, in response to my report someone suggested the following:


Interesting how much we look into every reported case. We can now conclude that enough is done and nobody cares about your crying.
That being said, I fully support Polaris here.
