Can we test it by reporting this post?

You want to get banned?

WOAH, it's blue now

What about quotes of the blocked post?

Very good point! I hadn't thought of it!

Is it due to a suggestion to make it noticable?

Yes. I brought up that it should be changed directly to Lightnin, and poof! There it is!
For whoever it's still gray, use the magical solution: clear your cache. 

Now to change them in the tbg and rpg forums!

This seems a great improvement! However, what about if a group of trolls (imagine Anonymous) of 4 or more members who keep reporting posts - we're going to have a problem for moderators.

Probably not, because
A. They'd keep sending out red flags to the moderators (the reports)
B. They'd have to have been on for at least a month, and have been good while they were on
C. It would only be temporary, because people can be unbanned easily
D. They'd be banned quickly because we have good mods 

Ohhh, I just realised something. You can tell if a post's already been reported because the Report button will go back to grey again. So that ends the worries of people reporting the same thing.

What if several users reported a thread that is outdated and could be closed? Innocent scratchers could get temporarily blocked.

They've already stated it's extremely rare that a post gets more than four reports unless it's spam or trolling. Plus the Report button turns grey when the post's been reported anyway, so you'll be able to see, and therefore won't report it twice.

Does it really though? I thought it just turned gray while your mouse is over it.
I haven't noticed any of the reported posts having a gray button.

The way it seems to work is, it displays gray if you have reported it; not others.
