I don't think a 'report post' button is that effective. They are often abused as much as the forum itself is. I remember when the Ubi forums were at their liveliest - the 'report post' button became a real pain. Members were using it to tell us that - ' This post should be moved', 'This person posted in 2 places', 'This post is the same as that one'....etc. Not that a heads up now and then wasn't appreciated, but we had several mods and by the time we read through all the complaints, one of the other mods had usually taken care of any problem that may have existed. It got to the point where I rarely checked the reported post list. It was usually redundant.

A real live moderator is more effective, IMO. From my experience, there were always one or two cruising through the forums and not much got by us. If we did miss something, a PM usually got a quicker response from us than a 'report' button.

It never ceases to amaze me how these people always manage to find the newer forums to start their trolling in. I wish I had that kind of spare time....I'd never leave Uru!
