Reporting Forum Abuse...

Somebody's a substitute teacher with an internet connection.

I have a suggestion. I'm a moderator on a couple other fora. And the one I spend the most time on, we, too, have a report button. (Yes, Forrest, all the moderators have reported each other with it, just for fun)

Anyway, our button is a small triangle with an exclamation point in it and I can't remember if when you mouse over it, it says "report post."

Every time I see that big RED "Report" button, I think "Yikes! I've been reported!" Am I being too picky to suggest a slightly more appealing looking icon?

We find the button to be of use. Mostly for spam, but occasionally for an offensive post.

It was a red !, but TJ didn't think anybody knew what it was.
