I -think- you can report this post to a moderator.Worst idea ever.
Censorship is just a thought away...

I'm hoping it will be used for kiddie pr0n and so on.In other words, hardly ever.
We can always yank it in two minutes.
Jess checking it out.
On Puce's forums, I've used it twice in 2700+ posts.
Good Lord if they use the shit out of it I sure will cut it.
I don't have that much time to play police.

<brady>Remember kbreak, when you tattle on someone, you're really tattling on yourself...</brady>we can still effectively police the forums, without the report a post feature. I am almost always on anyway...

Yes you can (thought) Police the forums without this feature...

I for one cannot read every post every day.Let's see if anyone uses it after a month.
Otherwise, it's harmless.

I still don't see the need for this. This is like putting a little button on everyones head that someone gets too push every time you make an offensive statement (or -any- statement they don't like). We need a thumbs down emoticon.

You don't have to and you don't need to...
And if you don't read every post, why the hell do you reply to every topic?

Hello Bitter Being!I think you exaggerate a little; you rarely see me post in the Geek forum, sometimes in Media, and the occasional one in the political posts. I try to stay out of the politics in general.
I know I post a lot, but hey, I pay for it.
Actually I just paid for two more months of forums...

It's very facist.

If you report a post to me and I don't see kiddie porn or your home address or other such forbidden material I'm going to be angry ...and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. There is not enough free time in anybodies day to erase a post where somebody called you a poopie-head and made you sad. And I'm sure as all heck not going to remove it if it's funny. But, everybody is always welcome to email me give me the specifics I may be missing about why a post is offensive.Wiley@cbk.net

The way I'm leaning right now, the *only moderation we'll have is that "report post" link....Bring on the FlameWars!!!
