Add a REPORT POST feature for the love of God!

Seriously. I just facechecked another hidden porn thread that is getting upvoted. GD is a cesspool and having no report post feature pretty much is the main reason why bullcrap like this is so easy to get away with. Forum mods have 0 way to know quickly if there is a thread or post that needs to be deleted.

Its the simplest and most core feature that you guys have never thought to put in, desired to put in, but that is absolutely vital to descumming the community. I swear, the trolls, porn, and off topic trash in GD is hideous and it is lawless because they know they can get away with it. No amount of moderating will stop it. When I run into horrible posts that don't belong I have no way to stop it, and I know that %90 of the time it won't get deleted. I had to send in a support ticket in and wait weeks to get a death threat removed from a long and ongoing thread once. It sucked. That is unacceptable.

Please don't tell me that the downvotes are enough either because we all know that people upvote terrible things just to spite the system because, guess what, they can!

I don't care if you use this clunky reddit style or not anymore, it has its uses, but for the love of God and all that is holy, good and right, add a report post/thread button because this behavior isn't going to stop just because you introduce a new system or ignore the old one. You need REAL features. So far the only thing new is filtering topics by popularity and tiny icons we finally get to use. Add a report button, alert mods immediately of innapropriate behavior, and instant action can be taken instead of 40+long porn threads. It makes your company look like a joke.

Let me add that yes, I've had people around while I've been browsing GD and stumble upon these hidden porn threads, no, not seconds or minutes after they were posted, but half an hour or more after they've been around. Its horribly embarresing. If people want to see this, they seek it out on their own time, when they know they are in a suitable enviornment. they don't call it "Not Safe For Work" for nothing. People can and HAVE been fired for this stuff showing up. It gets people in serious trouble.

This time I got lucky, no one was at a viewing angle to see the pictures this time and I was able to get out in time. But like I said I've already been unfortunate with this. I'm mad, but I'm mad because this has to stop.

I know Riot, that you want to keep the community clean and progressing upward, that is why you finally decided to tackle this community rework issue. But I can't tell you how much of a failure this will have been if you don't make this a reality. There is NO excuse not to have this. NONE. You have to realize and understand how terrible this is. I hardly roam GD anymore because of it. You must know that it would be so much easier to just have one responsible person report a thread, than to have mods wade through every post in every thread to find these things.
