Firefox just reloads the thread I was viewing. Is there something wrong on my part (like browser settings) or is this intended? Do my reports actually get sent, even though I don't get any confirmation?

i believe a reported post is reported to "all" moderators of that forum at the same time so if one misses it another will respond so things get acted on fairly quickly.

i have seen double reports from the same person before just to make sure it went through.

i cant see it as practical for the moderator to reply to the reporting member as that only invites requests for too much info on whats happening with the report.

that said i think maybe a website confirmation of "post has been reported" would be something usefull


and maybe neal will give you a can of spam kill flag for each spam thread you sink

What is the purpose of doing this anyway?

These poor third world bums get paid for every spam link they place. So, picture a bamboo warehouse in the Philippines with 300 guys making fake gmail accounts and posting spam everywhere.

It's just that you get confirmations for about anything you do (like logging in to subsim etc.) except for reporting bad posts.

I tried it with IE7 and FFF, and both do not give a confirmation. I have asked the moderators in my Bad Post report test to post here when they get it. Let's hope they will.

Haha, that would start a flood of artificial spam! But thanks to all here for replying and helping.

You've made me paranoid Neal.

I keep looking for hidden links in seemingly empty spaces and scrolling the cursor over images to see if they're linking somewhere.

You too? I keep checking every bilge rat's post a hundred times

BTW, did anyone notice the 'seemingly empty space' below my sig? It's been there for the last 2 days, wonder what it could possibly be

Dang, you made me check! I'm really going downhill fast.
