Report to Moderator feature

[Dualist]

I would like to see the Report to Mod functionality on every post, to reports posts/threads that are inappropriate and violate the rules. It's a neat feature that a good Samaritan can use. 🙂

I feel sorry for the Mod inbox if that ever happens.

Yeah, this is one of those ideas that sounds nice in theory, but the practical application would probably be the mods worst nightmare.

Maybe only Lifers and Elite Members should have a Report button 😀

As it is Lifers and Elites don't really get any "privileges" over the average n00b. It would be nice to have something.

admins and mods vote no on this -- last time we turned it on there was too much abuse of the system with people reporting things that didn't need attention.
