Do we no longer have the option to click onto a mod’s e-mail icon right on the offending post?

What is the official position on stating that you have used the function? Is it like the “Ignore” list (i.e., verboten)?

The moderators have stated previously that they prefer you didn’t call atention to your use of this link. I do not, however, speak for the moderators, not the SDMB.
