You mean it moves up only on MODs screen not regular members/general screen right? because that would be annoying.

Correct. It would move up in their queue. Although it could just have the number of times its been reported too. Either way, we wouldn't see a thing, only they would.

Currently, when you alert a post, you don't HAVE to add text. Just click the alert choice from the drop down menu and then hit submit. And I wouldn't want the text option to be omitted... Because if you WANT to say something, like, "Check out all of this posters activity in this thread, too", you can.
I guess I'm not sure what you see as the problem with the current system?

I have an idea!
Maybe we should not flag posts and INSTEAD let the mods do their job unassisted?
I think the flagging system is misused as it is. I don't want to see it made easier.

All good points to be considered. Thanks for the replies and thoughts. This is why I wanted to open it for discussion. To see if I had a valid idea,
or if I could learn something I didn't know, or hadn't thought of.

I wouldn't want to do away with the ability to add text when needed either...
I don't really see a problem with the current system. My thoughts were more along the lines of streamlining.

There is something to be said for your thoughts and points.
However, the ALERT link is there to assist the staff because they aren't omnipotent. Yet anyway. Maybe after the ascension.

Good additional points. And thanks.

In those cases where text is needed, the ALERT link in the drop down could be left intact.

I got a better idea. Stop snitchin so the mods can chill out between removing posts and banning people. It is not necessary to snitch on people you know that right?

I think you just put the whole idea in a nutshell, tenth. It was just a thought. I've appreciated everyone's input into the idea. It has been educational.

Without assistance there is no way the mods would be able to moderate effectively. They are few in number and even if they were paid and all worked 24/7 I don't believe it would be possible to keep up. They would have to be able to monitor every single new post, remember every single post, and every member and all their interactions with others.
You don't need to write a novel. Eventually the zombies behind the scenes will read your alert, make a decision and act one way or the other. If you care enough to hit the alert button, you should care enough to write a sentence or two.
I hate to admit this or boost the egos of our overlords, but the mods here are awesome. If you have a problem they will answer you. In my experience they are very fair. Except for JohnnyAnonymous. He has yet to fulfill my request for an awesome voicemail greeting.
