Skittles! is
Cleared of this abuse accusation.
People who report posts report them due to there being baits and flames. From a sample of threads I've read, moderators also seem to bait and flame just as much as the average user. I think the report feature is great as rather than responding to the baits and then be accused of trolling, the post can be reported and the user's actions noted. CC got rid of flame wars for a reason, to stop flames but I think baits should receive tougher sanctions too.. especially users and moderators who seem to only post to bait and draw reactions out of other users and they know who they are. I also note that often the posts who are reported are never closed or sometimes closed without any notification of any change, for instance I reported captain crazy's post a while ago for his flame in his signature 'burn in hell mustard' which is a flame, but I notice nothing has been done as of yet and the flame remains in his signature.
Captain.crazy did receive a ban for a bit...I don't know if it was due to your pointing to his signature or not, though. He mentioned it a couple of days ago in the Off-Topics forum.
I agree with you about the "report a post" feature, and I'm pretty sure lance does as well...but the saxitoxin character was abusing it for posts that clearly didn't meet ANY standard of flame/bait/troll, simply to report the individuals that he seemed to want to bust on. That's what lance is getting at there, I'm pretty sure.
