Reported by Adam M.:

> This is a feature I have used extensively on other forums and think it would really put the cherry on top for this aspect of dealing with site issues. Have a report post feature that would send a message to a forum of the administrators choosing, usually a private admin forum that would show the post being reported along with a message from the person reporting the post and why.

> Adam, do you think there should just be a separate "reported messages" list, rather than a forum that these get sent to? Of course the list would be adjusted to show only those forums that the viewing moderator has access to.

> I ask because it seems like a lot of work to have to create new forums for this. On the other hand, having it in a forum allows the moderators to discuss what do with it.

> I assume we should include information like who reported it. Anything else that might be relevant?

> Controls to decide what to do from right inside that forum? (feature for later)

> Any suggestions on how to lay it out? e.g. display it like a quote:

> **This Post** ("this post" is linked to the post) in the forum **My Forum** (linked) was reported by **SomeUser**:

> > You stupid $&&%#' you should #""#$$

> (then some buttons)
> Remove - Move - Hide - Edit Post

Adam M. commented:

> Most people that I have talked to about forums have said they usually have an admin forum or some sort of private forum for just themselves and/or moderators. That is the forum I usually chose for those reported posts to go or else I create a sub-forum of the admin/mod forum for it. The way you showed it above is usually how I've seen it.

> A list works too but if you have a mod or admin team it makes it harder and takes more time to have a discussion on the reported post. Then if there are thread prefixes, a suggestion I will be making later, you can mark each reported post as completed.
