I understand we have moderators again. But...how do reports work now? Are we private messaging the moderators themselves? Or is there a new T_Mod account? Or is there a report page feature I've missed? 馃槙

There are just report buttons on blogs and profiles.

However CheapCheep said he's open to being contacted but that it's also overwhelming as far as the amount of mails he's getting

Heavenlee Ah. I originally wrote this in the blog but wanted to make sure I wasn't mistaken...

Why isn't there... I dunno, let's say there was a report page which could be accessed while logged in or offline. If offline, the reporter would need to enter a valid email address. If online, the report would be tied to your profile. Limited to 2 reports a day per profile, 1 report per day per email address to prevent the inbox being spammed. Maybe per week, but that seems too much.

Then the moderator users can go through the reports, reach out to the email/reporter to verify any details if needed. The offline/online reports would be separate.

The form could look like this:
Subject:
Report level:
-Critical (eg. May be criminal activity)
-High (eg. Cheating)
-Medium (eg. Spam)
-Low (eg. Suggestions or inconveniences)
Description:
Evidence: (that is a risky one but either can be a way to upload screenshots or video evidence)
Being able to upload evidence could prove difficult but depends on how this is approached.

Something like that might be good. But private messaging moderators is definitely not the best way to approach this. Especially if the moderators use the site on their regular account anyway, receive spam mails, stuff like that.

I dunno if there already is this function and I'm missing it? But if it actually still is via PMs, then that's my suggestion.
