Report link

Maybe change it to something more user friendly, as it is used as more than a tool to report topics that need to be closed  hmm

Re: Report link

I suppose "report" does suggest that it is exclusively for flagging bad things. What do you think it could be changed to?

Re: Report link

I'm sure it's been suggested a few times already, but I like the idea of a drop down menu that lists different reasons from inappropriate content to the fact that a topic is in the wrong area.

The typing box could still be their for additional details, but it would help newer Scratchers with reporting posts.  smile

Re: Report link

This has actually been suggested several times already, and I daresay you're right. As a moderator, I've noticed people tend not to report topics to be closed.

You're right - a lot of people just say "Can a mod close this?" Which works, but it's probably easier for you if the author just reports it.

Re: Report link

I'd like the term "Report" to be changed, but I can't think of anything better. ^^

I do report topics for closure, though  big_smile

Re: Report link

It could be changed to 'Notify', although that doesn't seem quite right...

Re: Report link

Whatever the change, it should probably be clear that the point is to call attention to the post for some (not necessarily bad) reason. Is there any one word that would do that? "Report" is a good word for that, but unfortunately has a negative connotation in message boards.  hmm
