a question about reporting posts

[buzzbombtom]

hey mod staff, what is the proper protocol when there is a post posted in the wrong section, i personally report them, but i feel like its the wrong thing, when i hit the report button, the sentence under the dialogue box says only for spam, harassment, and advertising, sooooo what is the proper way to bring it to your attention its in the wrong section?

I may be able to get you a faster answer by reporting your post.

I believe there is a box to type in a message. You can just type in "wrong section" or whatever you feel describes it best.

Do you mean being witty?

recently i learned that my wittiness fails me more often than it hit its target .... however, someone has been using the "report" button to great success for my apparently witless posts lol!

I report my own posts because the poster is gay.

On a serious note, I mainly report threads that are advertisements from spammers. I wish you could track the threads you report.

I know this is kind of old... but we get an e-mail when you report threads and I always read the message you guys type so I know exactly what the problem is. The threads are usually taken care of pretty quick.. either I get to them or somebody else does (most of us check our e-mail fairly often). Reporting posts definitely works to help keep the site clean and in order.
