WinCustomize: Report Post Feature

Reporting forum posts

Wednesday, June 27, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Community

Recently I wrote an article about one of the newest features of the forums on WinCustomize.....the Private Message feature.  The feedback was great and I was quite surprised of how many people were not aware we even had this system.  There are many other features on the forums and WinCustomize that I will continue to write about that will hopefully make your experience here with us even more enjoyable than I'm sure it already is. 

Since we recently discussed forum features like the PM system, lets go over another important forum feature that might be overlooked as well.......the Report Post button.  The dev team behind WinCustomize goes to great lengths to make sure spammers are kept out, but unfortunately you can't stop them all, so what do you do if you see a spam post or another post with questionable content such as warez?  Well you simply report the post so one of our moderators will take the appropriate action if needed.

As we see here, Hankers, one of our great volunteer moderators has made a spam post to use as our example.

Now this is obviously a spam post so the appropriate action would be to report this post to the moderators so it can be dealt with.  In the lower right hand corner of the post you should see a "Report" link in which you click and a box appears where you can enter the reason you are reporting the post.

Once you have entered your comments, hit the "report post" button and a report will be sent to the admins and moderators and the post will be reviewed and action will be taken if necessary.
