<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter T Davis, post: 536807, member: 1&quot;]This is a friendly reminder to everyone that if you have a problem with someone else&#039;s postings, you should use the report post feature instead of posting about it in public.&nbsp;&nbsp; Confronting someone with a public post almost never works out well, and very often leads to flame wars and by the time I get involved I&#039;m more in a &quot;heads are going to roll&quot; mindset than a &quot;how can I help&quot; mode.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Never knew there was a report post feature?&nbsp; Well, once you see it you&#039;ll never forget it.&nbsp; In the post, under someone&#039;s avatar near the bottom, you&#039;ll see this <img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/images/buttons/report.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; When you click on that it will bring you to a screen where you can type in an explanation of why you think the post is a problem.&nbsp; That will send a message out to all of the moderators.&nbsp; This is especially useful when there is spam or other types of very abusive messages because it allows us to have the fastest response time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re also welcome to privately discuss problems with us individually.&nbsp; But, who are all the moderators?&nbsp; Well, we have a list, it&#039;s <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showgroups.php" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showgroups.php">right here</a>.&nbsp; You can send a private message.&nbsp; If you&#039;re going to contact us privately, please contact just one of us, maybe you feel more comfortable with one of the moderators, that&#039;s fine.&nbsp; If you want to contact more than one, use the report post.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you think someone is being a troll, and you in response to the troll make an offensive post then you are equally guilty.&nbsp; If you think that a new member is a formerly banned member returning under a new identity and you post offensive messages about them in public, then you are guilty.&nbsp; You should report it to us, not create a public spectacle.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
