The Report button is simply a method of alerting the moderators (staff members) to anything. Good or bad, literally anything. Do not be afraid to use it. Too many people are and we can't help you if you don't bring a problem/issue/something good or bad to our attention.
It can be used for any of the following (and more)
It is basically a contact us button with a link to the post in a thread where you pressed 'Report'.
So where is it and how do you use it?
The report button can be found all over the place. It is linked to wherever it is that you see with that report button and will provide us with a direct link to where the 'problem' lays. So if you use the report button at the bottom of a specific post, we will get a report regarding that specific post.
You can find it at the bottom of this post, highlighted as shown below.
If you click on it - go on, do it now, you will get the Report box.
Fill out the reason for the report (good or bad) and click on Report Post and we will get an alert letting us know. I'll show you what I mean.
We get this which when I open it will give me this thread.
As you can see, this is a report suggesting something good...
It can be used for any of the following (and more)
