Topic: Post Reporting Idea

When someone reports a post, it usually stays there until an admin / moderator removes it.
Why not have a feature so that the post get hidden when reported until a disition is made by the admin / mod?

Just a thought smile

Re: Post Reporting Idea

There is such a mod already. And I don't believe it's a good idea; you can report a post for several other reasons (make a sure a Moderator sees it and can comment on it for example).

Re: Post Reporting Idea

I also thnk its a bad idea unless you couple it with a restriction on who can report posts. Otherwise you will get people reporting anything the don't like or reporting the posts of other members they have a grudge against just to hide the posts.
