Hey guys, GoldMan27 here. If you are reading this, it's either because you want to do your best to keep the forum tidy and drama-free where possible, or because you just want to see GoldMan27 do another one of his rants. :tongueout:

Anyways, today I am going to rant about the "Report" button. Why you may ask? Because us Moderators are tired of getting PMs about trouble in the forum, and partly because our conclusions get prematurely leaked before we have time to solidify our responses.

So, where is this "Report" button you may ask? Allow me to show you:

I whited out some parts (Moderator features only ;)), but for the most part, this should be what you see. The Report button is right next to the Delete button. So, the next time you need to say someone's posted something wrong on the forum, report the post. Or, if they have been causing ruckus in the shoutbox, have your evidence ready just in case, and report one of the user's posts to get our attention. From there, we'll decide if we need to have a convo or not. If this user has not posted on the forum yet, then simply fire off a convo at us. However, only do that if the user has no postings on the forum that you can report to get our attention.

And that, is my big statement. Learn it, live it, love it. :tongueout:

Just to make things interesting, take a good guess as to which one of my posts I took that screenshot from. :smile:
 
Just thought I would point out that the Report button
rarely appears next to Delete (unless it's your own posts or posts on your profile) as regular members can't delete other's posts and it would be pointless to report your own post :tongueout:

Here's how it appears for me:

By the way, another nice rant and here is where that screenshot is from :tongueout: http://pixelgun3dforums.com/index.php?threads/how-to-not-double-multi-post.10448/
 
Now tell as from where did you take that screenshot :smile:
Kreeper was right, it was from my previous rant at that time. He's also right about "delete" not always being next to the "report" function, unless it is your own post.
