    I don't use it. Nobody likes a snitch.

    Besides, why should we do the staff's dirty work? What have they ever done for <i>me</i>?

    Usually what I warn is incredibly obvious, but I still type a little sentence-summary of what it is. "PM advertising newbie," for example, which I think was the last thing I used the warn button about.

    I like it when people say exactly what's going down... but random greetings to the staff are also nice - as long as they're part of a legitimate warn.

    The best Reported Post I ever got was this:

    I feel no explaination of what is going on is necessary if when you click on thread you would figure it out right away. That is when I type in whatever I feel like.

    I think I've only used the warn feature two or three times, and usually as a joke.

    I've always meant to warn a post so I could send my love to a Cid's Knight, but the problem is I don't love any of them because they are empty shells of human beings who emit purest hatred from their eyes and possibly their breath (it'd explain the smell)

    Hmm...two years ago. I don't remember who was around back then, but that sounds like Lynx or Neel. More like Neel, really.

    Uh...yeah. I once warned a thread just so clout would look at it. It ended up being archived.

    I use the Warn button to talk to staff when I'm too lazy to go into the Staff forum.

    That's not fair. I could care less if you were an admin to hold such power, but if we did something like that we would get banned. S'matter of fact...
