Report Button on the forums. Thread

Hey guys,
recently I've seen Henley posting about us not reporting stuff, but personally, I would feel awkward Private Messaging any of the admins with a problem like this.

Can we get a button like this on the forums? [ or am I blind and there is a button like this? ]

i suppose it is lacking ill get scotty to have a look here then. Thanks for brining it up

Not a problem Henley, pleasure to help.

Report what though? I'm doubtful about the benefits of a report system - admins monitor the forums and at worst a post might go a day without an admin stepping in should action be required.

If there is a continual flood of stuff which needs to be reported sure i'll consider it then, but when it is maybe 1 post every two days, i'd prefer to spend my time working on HD video support and Help Wanted. Appreciate the suggestion though, and please continue to put forward your ideas.

I got a feeling some schmucks would report simple disagreements instead of actual problems if forum post reporting was brought to a convenience.

Don't get me wrong guys, but that was just an idea I've stumbled upon while looking at other, not exactly better, forum systems and Henley's post.

Yeah, I've run into that before. There's always someone who's bored, stupid or curious enough to push the button.
On the subject of buttons, the report content Button is far too close to the Modwatch button. If your PC is running slow and the mouse starts jumping there's a good chance you're gonna press it.

I'm with leilei and ruppet here, people would either click it as "I don't like this" or click it as "I wonder what this does", then we'd have even more rubbish coming through our queue to try and sort out!
