I've had a few passing questions about the "report post" feature on the vBulletin forum software, so I figured I would make a quick blurb about it.
If you read a post and suspect that it needs the attention of the site staff, there is a report post button down on the bottom left-hand corner of every post a user makes. Simply click this button (black triangle w/a white exclamation mark - see example below) and enter your report (e.g., "This appears to be a personal attack on another user."), then press "send report" when you're finished entering your text. It's quite a simple feature to use.
Posts should be reported if you think said post may have either violated the FAQs/Rules for the general forum or the special rules for the Target Area sub-forum.
Reporting a post to the site staff does NOT guarantee that it will be removed or that corrective action will automatically be taken; it is solely the responsibility of the moderator team to make that decision. You will not receive a personal reply regarding your report from a member of the moderator team due to the volume of reports often received on any given day, but rest assured that each post is reviewed after a report is made. If you have any questions, just ask.
