At the top-right of each post, there are various icons. One of which is the Report Post icon and it looks like this:
Clicking Report Post will take you to a report page. On this page there is a drop-down menu listing several options and a message window where you may provide further information if necessary, or requested. Reporting posts brings them to the immediate attention of Inn Staff when we next visit the forum.
- The drop-down options are as follows: (most are self-explanatory but some clarifications are in italics)
- The reported post violates the forum rules.
- The reported post contains foul language that has thwarted the forum censors and a new word censor is required.
-If you have the forum censors turned off in your User Control Panel, this option won't apply to you. - The reported post's thread should be in a different forum.
- A lot of topics end up in General Discussion areas that may fit better in more specific topic sections. Use this option if you believe the topic is better in a different area where it will be more easily found. - The reported post contains a link to a yeoldeinn.com page that leads to an Error 404 page.
- The reported post was accidentally Soft-Deleted and you would like it un-deleted and available for members to read.
- The reported post has been Soft-Deleted and now requires a permanent Hard-Delete by an Innkeeper or Wizard.
-If you delete your posts, this one is very helpful to staff as the forum doesn't alert us when posts are Soft-Deleted. We can otherwise only discover them by reading topics and seeing posts appearing in magic-trap green. - The reported image's preview and/or thumbnail is missing, and/or not loading.
-This option applies to the Forum Gallery. - The reported message has the only purpose to advertise for a website or another product.
- This is the option for SPAM. (it's worded awkwardly, but the phrase is prebuilt into the forum and we're stuck with it) - The reported message does not fit into any other category, please use the further information field.
