Hi,
How can we report a member/s would is/are being abusive towards others or are trying to annoy others, etc? The report post feature says:
However, what if the member is the cause of the problem?Quote:
Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.
Thanks,
Nightwalker
Try PMing a moderator, explaining the situation, and maybe site some posts. Or you can just ignore that poster.

Anyone can report a post. So if you see someone harassing someone else then you can definately Report that post or even send a PM to any Mod that is online. But reporting the post is a sure way to get the quickest attention to it as all mods will se the report whereas a pm only the person(s) on the list will get notice when they log in.
The reason I ask is because [Removed by Mod] started this thread but he is arguing/attacking other members for trying to help him.
If someone is offensive or just plain rude then first I would suggest dropping out of the thread. We all are volunteering our time here so if its not appreciated then there are many other members that would appreciate your time/help.
I will review the thread and post or pm wwith any needed action(s).
In such instances I give a negative reputation to the offending member though I recall of only doing it once, I haven't encountered another rude member recently.
Hey,
I agree, I have given negative reputation in the past as well, but I have also reported the post, so that the moderators can take any necessary action.

Just to add:
If it is a moderator that is being abuse (which would be shocking, but is possible), then feel free to PM an admin (or email webmaster@ this site's domain). In that case Joe or I can evaluate the situation. If you find that it is an admin that is the issue, then you probably have little you can do :)
Brad!
Yes, I do that too! However, some times the user doesn't get the message, meaning they fail to stop their actions.Quote:

But trust me the mods are very helpful. Just report the post or send them a pm and trust me, it will be sorted in no time... :)
