Can we get more options for reporting a thread/post?

Or at least, like, some way to describe why we're reporting it? Some small text box or something?

I'd imagine it'd help mods at least a little bit, by letting them know what, exactly, we're reporting them for, so they know what to look for.

I think it has been suggested before and then was decided it wouldn't really be worth it. They would still need to review the situation to decide if action is required. I think I recall being told even the report reason wasn't too relevant as it all goes to the same queue.

That sounds right.

I don't want to reiterate what you said, but yea.

The categories help some, but ultimately we have to judge every post and ask whether or not it's appropriate for the boards or sub-forum.

Appreciate your thoughts! What were some categories you were thinking about?

I could see "inappropriate name" as one that'd help.

Inappropriate name, deliberately misleading, political/deliberately drama inducing, and no-effort are different ideas I've had and seen.

EDIT: One other: Encouraging EULA violations.
