Interesting Phenomenon

When I first activated the Dope this morning, I checked the menu of GQ and spotted what looked like it might be an interesting new thread. It turned out to be a new member (probably new ex-member) hawking his services (cue Monty Python Vikings here). Being the good little Doper I am (;)), I clicked on the red triangle to report it, and got the notice I would get if I attempted to penetrate the Mods’ Sooper Sekrit Fortress of Solitude – “Polycarp, you do not have sufficient permissions to view this…”

Of course I enunciate the initials of Rufus T. Firefly’s brother Waldo T. , check to make sure I’m logged in, then realize that the underlying thread must have been Removed from Public View between the time I opened it and when I decided to report it. But I still found it odd that the report button also gives the “insufficient permissions” message if the thread’s been moved to staff-only area.

No big question, just reporting an oddity for what it’s worth.

Just be grateful you didn’t click on it in the nanosecond when the system automatically throws the offender into the Fiery Pit of Hellfire and Eternal Damnation. You’d be blind now.

But can we still report those kind of issues until we need glasses?
