I think it should say report post, AND it should be in the upper right, next to the post number.
There is a large enough gap between posts that reporting the wrong post wouldn't be an issue.

Probably best to shink it to "Report" just to keep the button a reasonable size. Still, not bad idea though.

This is part of this thread:
"... and I can cry if I want to" OTT
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=59703
This is the reason that the user gave:
He was being mean and said he was going to report me! Make him do a timeout!
Take away his cookies, too! Just make him tell me he's sorry for being so mean.
You know, you can't fake the "Banned" that appears in the custom user title area.

This one isn't really in the wrong, as Scahom was just trying to keep an eye out for referrals in the wrong places and whatnot. I'd like everyone to remember though that sigs are ok for referral/spam requests, as long as they aren't overtly obnoxious. Many people on the site are actually getting paid by people to advertise with their sigs, so this isn't as much of a problem. Again, thanks for keeping an eye out Scahom.
Please keep in mind that spam/referral POSTS/THREADS should still be reported. Thanks everyone.
This is what I do at 3 in the morning.
While I fully endorse that any links to lemon party be removed with the utmost haste, I do ask that any such request be submitted in English. "sig you click"... that's some straight Yoda shit right there.
I would also point out that $hady reported this post twice, but that might make him look stupid.
No oversize red letters for this one, 'cause I'm a nice guy and all. But I would like to establish that this isn't something worth reporting.
I was kinda worried about you kids. I hadn't seen any bizarrely-reported posts in some time. But, I believed in you. I always had your back folks, all the way. Keep up the good work.

What's the purpose of this thread? Originally I thought it was supposed to show us what to report and what not to report, and you've done that.
Is this supposed to be a deterrant? Because if it is, it's obviously not working (hence this thread still being active 5 months after its creation).
It would seem as if this thread has devolved into a place where you can belittle users who piss you off. People continue to wrongly report posts, and this thread isn't going to stop it.
How about instead of verbally flogging the people who do it in front of the entire community (accomplishing nothing), why not just send the offending user a polite PM? Perhaps type out a formal reply that says what's ok to report and what not to report? It would stop those particular users from doing it again, and they wouldn't have to me embarressed. Like I said, this thread obviously isn't deterring anybody. If it was, it wouldn't be still going after 5 months.
But you know, that would be the right, mature, and professional way to do things. But why do that when we can make fun of people!

I think the only person who could answer that is CheapyD, and I have a feeling such claims would fall on deaf ears, as people with such axes to grind are usually hardly the most objective people.
However, it seems like just reporting them when they overstep the bounds does nothing but piss them off and have the other mods rally around them.
I guess I can understand that, though it can sometimes give them the feeling of infallibility... which can be dangerous.

Well, that would mean you have to have a mature and professional userbase to pull from. Though if that were the case, you wouldn't really need moderators.
That said, the majority of the moderators do as good a job as could be expected by a group of volunteers. Sure, some of them make a couple decisions (ranging from what they post themselves to how the treat people) that I disagree with from time to time, but you have to remember that they do this as volunteers, and are only accountable to CheapyD.

My only complaint is that when a person becomes a mod... who's going to stop them from saying whatever they want?
As we've seen, a certain group of them get quite nasty with me... and there's nothing that can be done about it. But if I'm the one instigating the fight? BAN!
No consistency there.

Not necessarily so. There have been one or two points in CAG history where I saw a mod going a little over the top. And I took it to them right then and there. In front of everybody who viewed the thread. The result? There were quite a few others who were thinking the same thing, but afraid to confront them about it because the person was an almighty mod. But as soon as they saw me post, they spoke up as well. Then other mods soon stepped in and took care of the situation. But you also have to be careful to know that you are of the correct opinion of the matter. You also need to at least have some degree of respect for people to take you seriously.
But overall, our mods are pretty awesome; a lot better than most forums I have ever come across. And I've only ever had to have words with one mod, really. And he was big enough to pretty much admit that he was out of line, but didn't care. That's at least better than just thinking that he is God.

Sorry kittie. As much as I believe that you have the right to act however you want (although you do go too far sometimes - see complaint above), you really have dug your own grave with that group. Although I feel that they have the greatest responsibility out of everyone on the forums to at least treat you with indifference, if not just plain be nice to you, that is obviously not the rules of the forum. And if you are banned again as unreasonably as last time (my opinion is that you were banned simply because people didn't like you... - much in the same vein as the Salem witch trials or the McCarthy accusations), I would speak up for you again, but the masses probably wouldn't care.

You'd have to take that to CheapyD. The mods seem to operate with his full confidence and trust, and thus, I you think one of them stepped over the line, it's best to take it to him than to get in a pissing match with a mod. They'll always win.

Not necessarily so. There have been one or two points in CAG history where I saw a mod going a little over the top.
Of course they will. They're people, and they have emotions. Emotions and opinions color things, and sometime those would lead to them doing something seemingly out of character.
And I took it to them right then and there. In front of everybody who viewed the thread. The result? There were quite a few others who were thinking the same thing, but afraid to confront them about it because the person was an almighty mod.
That's good. If you think that's the best course of action, and don't end up sparking off a flame war, that's the best way to handle the issue, as CheapyD is obviously a fairly busy man and should have to arbitrate every tiny little issue.
However, I have seen some mods join in on piling on on a couple of the favorite "targets"... most people will just take this in jest, or roll with the punches.
Though, there are times where mods have stepped over the line, and taking them to task in thread just isn't a good idea.

True, True. MOST of the time, these things are just trivial misunderstandings, and through the intervention of other posters and other mods, these things can work out well. Unfortunately, just like many other posters, some mods will have agendas or axes to grind from time to time, and unfortunately, thier rank will lend credence to some statements that are entirely baseless or uncalled for.

Yes, for the most part, the moderators do a great job... especially considering that they are all just volunteers.

I'm pretty sure all of those needless bumps in the deal threads (the heart and soul of this board) when you were on ultra-ignore didn't help things.
That's why you got banned.
Why you got put on ultra-ignore, I don't know, though I'd guess it was the flame war that raged on between you and those three people.

I would just add that I believe many people here do not follow the 'opera and theater' of the regular Cagers and hence are cluesless when something odd is going on. If something 'big' is going down I usually just wonder what the story is but don't do anything and continue browsing.

But as soon as they saw me post, they spoke up as well. Then other mods soon stepped in and took care of the situation. But you also have to be careful to know that you are of the correct opinion of the matter. You also need to at least have some degree of respect for people to take you seriously.
True, True. MOST of the time, these things are just trivial misunderstandings, and through the intervention of other posters and other mods, these things can work out well. Unfortunately, just like many other posters, some mods will have agendas or axes to grind from time to time, and unfortunately, thier rank will lend credence to some statements that are entirely baseless or uncalled for.
But overall, our mods are pretty awesome; a lot better than most forums I have ever come across. And I've only ever had to have words with one mod, really. And he was big enough to pretty much admit that he was out of line, but didn't care. That's at least better than just thinking that he is God.
Yes, for the most part, the moderators do a great job... especially considering that they are all just volunteers.[/QUOTE]
All very true. You certainly don't go taking on every mod for every little discrepency. But while just human, they are still reasonable people and will usually admit when they were at fault on something, given that they don't have a reason to try and use their power to your detriment. If you are at odds with a single one of them though, you can pretty much say good bye to any power of persuasion which you might otherwise have had with any of them
Of course they will. They're people, and they have emotions. Emotions and opinions color things, and sometime those would lead to them doing something seemingly out of character.
And I took it to them right then and there. In front of everybody who viewed the thread. The result? There were quite a few others who were thinking the same thing, but afraid to confront them about it because the person was an almighty mod.
That's good. If you think that's the best course of action, and don't end up sparking off a flame war, that's the best way to handle the issue, as CheapyD is obviously a fairly busy man and should have to arbitrate every tiny little issue.

[quote name='JSweeney']You'd have to take that to CheapyD. The mods seem to operate with his full confidence and trust, and thus, I you think one of them stepped over the line, it's best to take it to him than to get in a pissing match with a mod. They'll always win.[/QUOTE]
I PM Cheapy, e-mail, whatever, he always ignores me... yet, he feels the need to babble about me with others.
Thus why I don't think much of him... but, as long as he doesn't use his powers to screw me over again, I can play nice.

Yes, supersluth, Cheapy has nothing better to do than ridicule you incesantly. Ever read 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf"? In other words, if you didn't bitch so much about everything when you're A- being talked about you when you whore yourself out for attention or B- being ignored when whoring yourself out for attention, you might get a little more notice and or respect.

Can you prove that? I'd love to see some actual posts, PMs, etc where CheapyD does that. As this is his site, it's his poragative if he did want to do that, but I've not really seen that happen... the only time I've seen him speak of you negatively was during the posting tirade where-in you had gotten yourself banned the first time. I could be wrong, but I've not seen much data or proof to the contrary.

Perhaps you should mention that you have 5 cag arcade records.... you need to start throwing your prestige around.

should you not be ignored?
how would you know that? where's the proof?
and that is why cheapy cries himself to sleep at night
and what if he did "use his powers" to "screw you over again"? is that a threat? wtf are you going to do?

Wow. It's like what I said, but completely devoid of tact.

So long as someone isn't vulgar, abusive, or harming someone else in some way, I don't really see the harm in listening to someone's opinion. Many times, one of the best ways to deal with someone is to give them just enough rope to hang themselves.
