OFF TOPIC

I probably report 5-10 posts a day, usually 1 of those posts is probably just fine and I realize that after... I've always worried about how annoyed I must make the mods.

I hear from a lot of people that they do the same amount of reporting, and I always wonder... How do the mods get through all these report posts...

I always thought they must hate me for reporting so much :-)

We really make a job for the mods.

I do the same, Caleb - but I think there are relatively few of us who do.

I think it's easier on the mods to look through reports instead of trying to read all the threads - my "report" is usually 1-5 words total. All I'm doing is pointing to a potential violation - rest is up to the mods so they don't need a big explanation from me.

  1: Excellent point
  
  2: Thats a good thing to remember, and a good rule of thumb.
  
  Now I know how to do one more thing better.
  
  Thanks

@ MYOB

You can just maybe report and say something like "self promoting" or "spam", "sig link" or "name calling", or "another 1 liner"... "unnecessarily confrontational"...

You know, all the things people report me for. JK
