Not sure if this is a good idea, or if those within the administration think it's a good idea...
It's been suggested to add a "report post" functionality here. However, we all know how busy Percy is, so ... the reality is, it's not coming down the pipe. I think the administration is good here, but I also know it's hard to always keep up. I do see posts which I think need moderation sometimes.
I thought maybe we could start a thread where we could ask moderators to check it out, explaining why. Of course, it's important that the monitors strictly disallow replies by others, when a thread has been "reported." Otherwise there'll just be arguments.
I know it's not anonymous. Maybe if we can even report threads to check out, ... that's less ambiguous.
I dunno. Just want to have a way to ask for moderation when I think it's important. Not for myself, really just for other threads I read.
I thought I'd at least offer the suggestion for discussion.
Ben

The Naughty Button
Hi, Ben! I recently was involved in a post which I found questionable. We administrators usually don't administrate the posts which we also participate in, but I have found that there is usually at least one other administrator paying somewhat close attention.
Are you by any chance referring to that post that I was in? {Right Wing conservatives/evil)
I wanted to censor some of the stuff that was in the forum topic, but as I was participating, my hands were busy at the moment so I was unable to step in.
We administrators are usually aware of problem areas, but you can always e-mail any one of us if you see an issue. We will bring your email up for review in the private administration forum.
