Did you know that you too can be a defender of the RP repository?Whenever you see rule breaking occurring on the forums, simply press the "Report" button on the offending post. It will immediately be flagged for moderator review.
The Repository community grows on a daily basis. You can help to keep our streets crime, spam and bully free just by clicking a button. That one click could make a big difference!

I also want to point out that immature behavior and spam are some of our fewest issues. 
There are people who don't know they're breaking a rule because they're used to more adult environments or places where excessive swearing is common. Or maybe someone is saying something hurtful without intending to be! There are tons of reasons people break rules, but most often it's without true malicious intent.
Those kind of posts can be reported to us with a simple click of a button now and are also the most frequent slip-ups we run into. Although they're often just mistakes, it doesn't hurt having some help to find them.

I think we have such a great community that abuse of this button will hardly be a problem. In fact, I think this is a great idea, very useful! I know lately we've had a couple newcomers that aren't really reading the rules well before they start, so this will be helpful!
I've yet to see any sort of immature behavior on the RPR, but then again I'm a tad too shy to wander the forums. Yet, I'm happy that I haven't seen such harrassment or abuse thus far! The RPR community continues to impress me every time I log on.
Aw man I love this new button! I hope this makes it easier for people to let us know when something's up, in case they're shy about PMing us directly.

Very very very very very very rarely.

Truly amazing! Finally us normal folks can blast spammers outta here! Spammers beware!
It's true, someone could push it on every post they see just to create more work for the moderators. But it's also true that they can lose the privilege to cry wolf. Everything is reviewed by a real live human moderator before any action is taken, so nothing will happen to innocent posts and people needn't fear their enemies using the button to harass them.

I've taken note of just how busy the mods are around the site and I'm sure this button will be a huge help to them.
Of course, on the reverse, the button could be abused! The community to me has seemed fairly mature and friendly for the most part though, so that shouldn't be a problem.
