FAQ: What does the red ! button do?

You may have noticed (or not) that there is a new button the top right or each post:

What is this strange and exciting new button you may be thinking (or if you're Adele... what can break when I press this ;) ).

This button lets you report a specific post to us if you think it's a 'problem post'. When you click on the button you'll be given a box to fill in a note about why you think the post is a 'problem post'. This will flag the post up to myself and Adele for checking/dealing with.

Me and Adele get a nice table with a list of posts that need dealing with :)

Questions

I don't like button, I want to PM you.

Go on then :) If you prefer to send a PM we don't mind.

I don't want to report the post incase loads of people do and it annoys you.
Never fear! If someones already alerted us you'll get a little note letting you know.

What's a 'problem post'?
That's a bit more tricky to answer... basically anything that breaks our rules... personal attacks, inappropriate content etc. It doesn't have to be something serious... you can send us a report if you just think it needs a warning added about a distressing picture or you think the topic might turn into a problem and we should keep an eye on it. As I said above you get a box to say why you think we should take a look.

I'm not sure whether I should report this post.
Well, might as well. It won't take us too long to give it a quick peek and cross it off the list. We promise never to yell and/or laugh at your your concerns.

I think that's everything covered :)
