Mods, Specifically [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=408327) to CS. I’m guessing there’s an email addy or some sort of protocol that isn’t posting in ATMB but I can’t locate that info. Clue me in for the future? Thanks. -birdmonster ---

If you click on the moderator’s names at the bottom of the main forum page for each forum, it gives their e-mail address. ---

Two ways? E-mail one of the forum mods, or report your post and include in the message box the reason for the report. For the report, just click on the red outlinged triangle that when hoovered reads, “report bad post”. To e-mail a forum mod go to the main forum page (ATMB) where all the current threads are listed and at the bottom it gives you the mod(s) for that forum. For instance; Tubadiva is the mod for ATMB, just click on her name for her e-mail info. I’m not sure if you can report your own post, or do you have to wait till the edit feature times out. Help? ---

If it was something that really required immediate action, say a thread that needed to be moved to the pit or possibly closed, you could click on the red triangle in the upper right hand corner of each post wondow. That would probably be overkill for the thread in question, but it’s another way to let a mod know there is something that needs attention. ---

[QUOTE=Uncommon Sense] I’m not sure if you can report your own post, or do you have to wait till the edit feature times out. Help? [/QUOTE] Hmm, I guess you can’t report your own post. Makes sense in a way, but I’m surprised they went to the trouble to design it that way. ---

What they all said. We hope that future versions of vB will allow you to report your own post; apparently the feature was removed because some have used it to spam others. ::: sigh :::
