Reporting Posts?

Hi, Just a quick question! I saw a post earlier that contained racist/prejudiced language that I found offensive but when I clicked on Report Post the warning at the bottom said it was for harrassment, rude and fighting. It wasn't directed at me, I was just reading the thread. Whats the proper thing to do?

Report it anyway. If someone reports a post that I think doesn't need any action taken on it, I won't give out to the poster as long as I can see why they reported it - most mods would be the same.

Indeed, report it and let the mod decide. Mods don't have time to read every post in their forum so reporting posts do help.
