I'm sure this feature will hardly ever be used because we have such a great site! But as a moderator, it's nice to know the members in my forum have a way to back me up if I'm away. I traveled recently to Grandma's in WV where internet is rare and slow. I didn't get to check in as often as I liked, but I know I have good folks. However, if a spammer or something came along, it's nice to have that backup where they can take action if I don't catch it first! Thumbs up

Or better, actually, is report the spammer using "Suggest a change" in the thread, and propose to delete it. I check the suggestions queue numerous times through the day.

I like that this option to "Report this post" is available. But it is the first icon shown on the bar at the bottom of the post, and it is also in a red color as if giving it a high priority status. Could this icon please be presented in a different color, maybe purple, and placed after the thumbs up icon? The positive icons should be placed before the negative.

If it's moved to where the thumbs up is now I am afraid I would click it by mistake.

Rita, if you click it by mistake the box will pop up where you could cancel the report. No harm done!

I may rearrange them. I'll give it some thought.

Maybe the report button could be on the bottom but on the left side all by itself. Confused

Being by itself would draw even more attention to it, I think.

But it might keep people from clicking it by mistake, you would really need to be wanting to do it if it was moved to the other side. I do remember once clicked you can stop the process, however. Whistling

There are only 4 possible icons to click on -- it shouldn't be too difficult to pick the right one Confused

I'm not afraid I click by accident, just find the color red distracting...probably just because it's new Shrug!

Yep, I bet because it's new. Pretty soon you'll barely notice it.

Hilarious! Since I never use any of them. I didn't notice it until I read this thread.

Since joining this organization on April 20, 2015, I have starred 57 pages, and given 64 acorns and 3,915 thumbs-up. I guess I have a happy and loose trigger-finger. Hilarious! I'm sure there are members here that can beat my numbers. Angel

Thanks Dave, Trish, and family, for two more great features! I hope that neither one of them ever needs to be used by any of us, but it is nice that they are there if needed. This is, without a doubt, the nicest site I have ever been on, but things happen here too. Not often at all, thankfully, and the members seem to do a great job of dealing with the offensive posts, but it's nice to have this option when things get out of control.
