I've pressed the button on this thread to test that theory - I do hope that TB doesn't empty out too much of his Tetleys.

imho it would be nice if the button disappeared after it had been used, as its often used many times for the same post - no complaints though, better to be notified a few times, than not at all.

Do members actually complain about other members posts?.

Do should a Mod then get back to the person with a view to closing the issue down?

I just typed a long complaint about a post, which was going to be sent to a moderator.I then decided it was pointless to do so and deleted it.Theres 5 minutes of my life I wont get back.

But, if you had sent it would you actually get a reply? If it's seen by multiple Mods, then what's to stop Mod A thinking that Mod B has replied to the person raising the issue?

Well.........I never have any need to worry about anyone reporting my inoffensive, incisive and balanced posts.

I don't know about the system here .. but on other forums I've been involved with the "alert" button enters the post into a moderators area and it can be seen by all mods who/when/how it was dealt with.

I have reported several posts over the years and don't think a "reply" is always needed ... sometimes it is obvious that the matter has been dealt with ... thread disappears, comments deleted or edited etc etc .

I have had "thanks for reporting that" ... I've also heard nothing ... makes no odds as long as the matter is dealt with IMHO. These guys work hard for no reward ... why do we need to increase the work they do ?? I'm just very grateful for all they do, and, they are human and will make mistakes, just like the rest of us. Becoming a Mod/Admin does not make you infallible.

I nodded off with the iPad in my lap the other night and when I woke up I had a box on screen saying 'Report to Moderator'. It had a message box to fill in, which I obviously didn't fill in, so if I reported someone for a totally inoffensive post I apologise. 

As I bailed out and went back to the main headings, would this 'Report' have gone through, or do you have to fill in the message and ok it. I won't ever use the function, I'm just curious if my mistake the other night went through.
