The Warn Button

I use it when the opportunity arises.

Same here. ANd Bladen wtf how could you NOT know about this? They say "warn the post instead of spamming blah blah blah" when they close threads. Geeze.

To people who seem confused about the warn button:

underneath every post there is a little lightning bolt with the word warn beside it. If you see a post where someone is breaking a rule, click that button. You can then enter text into a box explaining why you feel there is something wrong with the post.

What this does is send an email to EVERY staff member with a link to the thread, a link to the individual post, the name of the member warned, the name of the member doing the warning, and the text that you included.

What we do with this depends. If we feel that nothing wrong was done, we just don't do anything. If we agree, we act on it as though we normally would. If you abuse the warn button or are very annoying with it, we might tell you to stop.

I use it when necessary, but sometimes I feel I'm ignored by the staff. :cry: *cue emoness*

i just warned your post. LOLZ

I use the Warn Button. As a former staff, it's the closest I could do to feel like a mod. :D

Then again, I think the staff secretly hates me, or some do, I guess.:confused:

You're not ignored. No one is ever ignored and every warn is looked at. Sometimes nothing gets done though because the Staff might not think that the problem is as bad a the member reporting it feels that it is, but no report is ignored.

To add to what leeza said, if we don't do anything about a warn you made, you are always free to PM one of us to talk about it. We can explain why we felt no action was necessary.

We definitely don't want you guys to feel like you're ignored, or that you don't matter to us.

>>> I have not seen porn lately so no..

I've used it 2-3 times.

Did you rip that lightning from the Winamp icon?
Um, I've used it once.

90% of the time BtV manages to get to the post I warned in like seconds. He's a robot!

I have also gotten PM's from staffers explaining why no action was taken by my warned post. 'Twas nice...:)
