Using the Report Problem Post Function

Brian,
It doesn't seem to me that it works out very well if you have moderators who may feel compelled to act on every email they receive, and thus may be overburdened enough to feel a need to post a reminder on how to use the triangle (and then a "bump"). If it is that necessary, then maybe a change to what Phil suggests should be considered.
JMHO, of course, but I walked those shoes as a moderator in the early years of TUG, part of that time as the *only* one.

Hi Fern and thank you for your input. I bumped the post yesterday, because one individual reported the same thread 4 times, yesterday.
I have found that many Tuggers do not realize that when they use the "report problem post" function that they are sending an email to everyone that works for TUG, and that if they knew that, they would probably use it a little more sparingly.
When we get a "problem post" report, we get an email sent to our personal email address, and it's impossible to know whether it's Legit, or frivolous, without opening it and reading it. So even the frivolous ones have to be read, to determine if a Mod needs to take action.

moderators have free reign to take steps to rectify obvious and glaring violations of the posting guidelines in any forum.
anything thats a grey area, or even when one moderator takes action in a separate forum...they in nearly every situation ive come across...post about it in the moderators forum with their actions and explanation.
I cannot recall ever thinking "wow, that moderator shouldnt have done that"...but we do have disagreements on various posts and threads from time to time.
Just because it happens behind the scenes does not mean nothing gets done =)
