People can talk a big game, and say they'll moderate this way, or they'll act this way, or they'll do this, but saying =/= doing. Reports would be a great way to show how you intend to moderate.
Interesting approach. In another forum I help moderate we specifically do not make mods out of users who use the report function much, because in our experience this type of user often turns out to be unable to handle the responsibilities of their new powers.
Interesting.
I kind of looked at the whole "reporting posts" as taddling on someone when you were in Kindergarten.
"Mrs. Brooks, Psy made a goo goo ga ga posting about me, WAH!"
Note: sorry Psy, you were a huge troll, made a moderator, and also have a really dark orange ignore button is why you are my example.
