Didn’t there used to be a “Report this Post” button that you could click to report spam, or offensive posts to a moderator? There’s a SPAM thread in MPSIMS. No big deal, but I’d like to report it and move on.

So, am I wrong and there never was such a button? Or maybe I’m just blind and can’t find it? How does one report bad threads/ posts?

Nevermind… I am blind, and I did find it.

You won’t see it on your own posts, BTW.
