If you’re ever on the fence about whether to report a post or not – go ahead and report it. It’s not tattling, and it’s not necessarily going to “get someone in trouble.” (We mods don’t act on every report we get – we use our judgment.)

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – we’re volunteers, and we don’t read every post in every thread. We’ve all been assigned to forums that we have long been participating in actively as posters, and that we enjoy reading – but there are way too many posts here all the time for us to read everything carefully.

We need you guys to help us out by flagging stuff that is – and stuff that might be – problematical.

Thanks!
