I don't think it has happened to me yet here, but on another site there are people who are constantly "If you keep it up, I am going to report you" and "You are reported" because you point out how inane their posts always are. It is really amusing how serious some people take it. They are usually the ones who also get upset that they cannot find out what action, if any, was taken on their reports.
For whatever it is worth, I think letting people track their reports like they do their posts as a function of the site or letting them know what action was or was not taken will just encourage people to barrage the mods with reported posts. When I was a mod somewhere, most every reported post boiled down to someone mad that someone else wasn't agreeing with them and was responding to their posts in a highly critical but fair way.

I've been involved with many forums over the years and have NEVER reported anyone at anytime unless it was a spammer trying to sell something. I honestly don't care what people post. If I disagree with them I simply state why I disagree then move on. It's a frigging online forum for hell's sake. Who really takes it that seriously? (That goes for "neg repping" too. I've never been the first to "neg rep" someone. Too childish!!!).

You'd have to be a real limp dick faggot ......

In over four years, of being a member here, I reported one person. I was even reluctant to do that, but felt it necessary.

Addressed to Howie, its difficult to tell whether or not this would be considered FLAMING in the Announcements and Feedback forum where "USMB Lounge rules apply," ......
....or practical advise?

you must obviously report a lot of posts howey, as has been mentioned, use a note pad or make a word document on your computer to keep track of all the posts you report.
Yes please do. Because the internet, after all, is very serious business
You can't win if you don't play...

Yes. Only recently has it become a violation, since those last words were included. ( bolded by me )

I had a poster respond to me in the clean debate zone once, violating just about every CDz rule that existed. Instead of reporting him, I pm'ed the guy, advised him he could be banned for such and told him he should delete that post and attack me in a flame zone thread I was in.
He did, apologized and viciously attacked me in the flame zone.
No need to take this place so dang seriously.

Right Pop. Proving once again, we are the answer to our questions and we are the solution to our problems.

I have never reported anyone ever but I have neg repped people--the exact same people who did it to me because I posted something in disagreement with them and they neg repped me adding comments like I was a faggot. It seems to always happen with the gun nutters who cannot respond intelligently to a post supporting some gun regulations.

I believe this is a quote from Fonzie, Happy Days, Episode 3, season 5.

It happens by people from all sides who have no real sense of personal power.

Considering that cereal_killer and some mods have told me they want members to report infractions, you're giving a very mixed message here.
Which is it?
Are you agreeing that people who report are "douche bag limp dick fags" "who have no real sense of personal power" or are they responsible members of a community?
What is it that the admin and mods want from the members here?
