    Not sure if this has been mentioned before, On some other boards i use, when a post is reported the report post icon is disabled, to let other users know it has been reported and also to keep the reported messages to just one. Is this option available as a default ?

    Only drawback would be, "why the feck was my post reported" syndrome, but thats another cup of tea.

    I think it was mentioned before (on this forum possibly) for the report post button to be dimmed or changed.

    Things have been simplified on the moderator end with all complaints going to the same thread.

    However, its useful to leave the user end as is:
    (a) If someone edits something worse into the post, it can still be reported.
    (b) It si good to have a variety of opinion from "a bit much" to "way to far", it allows a more proportionate response.
    (c) It keeps the shills and spammers guessing on response times.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Yeah, I kinda like the multiple reported posts now that they are bunched into the same thread/reported post. As a Smod I browse the reported posts forum and will give extra attention to the reported posts with >1 reply.
