Ok, so I’m playing Junior Mod. Ick. I don’t like it, but last time I didn’t, the whole thread got sniped at by a real mod for not alerting the mods. But when I click “report”, it gives me this scary message
So what do I do? I don’t want to get mod-slapped, even as part of a group. 
(Here’s the thread I’m referring to. It’s pretty clearly IMHO, not GQ)
That language you quoted, from the report form, is what’s presented by the basic VBB coding, which jdavis has not seen fit to change. But the mods have been very explicit that whatever calls for official moderator action ought to be reported. Obviously the proper tone is not to play “Junior Mod.” but rather to draw their attention to something you think ought to be moved.
So I should go ahead and use the “report this thread feature?”
Yep.
Of course you should go ahead and use it. We can’t see everything all the time and we depend on our members to alert us to stuff. We’re grateful, in fact.

Yes, this needs to be changed.
For now, here’s my previous post on this subject:
This is the third or fourth time I’ve seen this asked. Perhaps a sticky would be in order?
Agreed.
