I'm sorry, I just don't believe you. Is there someone more senior you can connect us to?

Could you just imagine the turnover if the mods COULD read some of our minds?? I doubt Raps would want to be responsible for such chaos

Crystal balls. ... They don't seem to work here, very well, though.

They just need to be properly motivated.
Hang them in a net sack off the back end of a pick-em-up truck for a few hundred miles and I'll bet they shape right up!

You mean they don't read minds?

Report button allowed for non-snitching purposes? Good to know.

For the record, the report button isn't about "snitching"

We just can't win, can we? We try to moderate the site as best as we can and uphold the rules? We get called Nazis. We try and make the site a welcoming and safe online haven for members, and we're told that we're not doing enough. We try and get members to use the report button, and we get responses like yours.
We're volunteers. Believe it or not, we actually HAVE lives and jobs and families and hobbies. We don't do this job for the glamour of it. We do it because we love this site, and want to see it going for years to come. But we cannot read each and every single post that is made each day. Well we could, but then we'd lose our jobs - and quite frankly, I like being able to pay rent and get food.
It's not a big deal to press a bloody button and say "I think this topic is better suited for fratching" or "This is a duplicate" or "I LOVE me some furry moobs".

rads: I don't think it was meant the way you read it, honestly.
I'm a weirdo, I know, but even I thought that "report" was meant for "problem posts" (fratching material, calling others out, etc). I even thought that was the sort of language visible in the report screen, and was going to say so until I went back and re-read it.
To many people, much of the time, "reporting a post" means "reporting a problem", and problems are usually viewed as what I described above.
Yes, now I know, but even I had a bad understanding, and I've been doing something on/with this site for over 4 years. It's something easy to miss.
At least, that's how I read his reply, myself.

Pedersen summed up wonderfully what I had orignally intended in my post. Up until now I thought it was to bring rule-breaking posts to the mods' attention.

My apologies - I'm a bit thin-skinned at the moment (quitting smoking >.<) , and should not have taken it out on you.
