Do we have an inform mod button?

**Wildtim** · 03-19-2008, 04:22 PM

I found a repulsive post put up here by a troll and wondered how to best inform the moderators of its existence so they could "take out the trash" as it were.

I know some forums have a button that sends a post and comments to the appropriate Mod included with each post.

Do we have any feature like that here?

I PM'd a couple of you guys so you could take care of it but was just wondering about this type of thing.

I sent pms to 3 Mod so should get fixed

Me too but I was looking for a better way.

As you look at the post you will see in the upper right hand corner a yellowish orange upside down triangle. Those are for reporting specific posts!!

Kind of a testament that in this long I have only looked for that button once. and hopefully never again.

The offending post has been removed, and the user has been banned.

The admins do a great job keeping things updated and secure. Every once in a while a spammer does make it through though.

The best thing to do it the "report post" icon. This generates an e-mail to all of the moderators, and I believe the admins. This helps us take care of the problem quickly.

It's really ironic, as I was reading this I got a PM with an Einstein quote about Buddhism, and a link to a rather crude website on Meditation and Rebirth. Not at all offensive, but the person joined today, had no posts, and appropriate or not I don't need the spam. Perhaps the report icon could be adapted to PM's as well? This is the first one I've ever gotten, on any forum actually. I fwd'd it to a few of the mod's, so hopefully it was a one-time thing...Was this a site-wide spam or am I the lucky winner for today?

I didn't get it today, but I did receive one like that about a
month or so ago.
