Is there a "report this thread" tool?

I encounter fraudulent threads from time to time. These are threads that often have nothing to do with photography. Some buffoon or criminal simply registers here on POTN and starts threads that are no more than shameless attempts to generate hits on other websites, or some such fraudulent attempt.

I just came across another of these threads, and looked in "Thread Tools" for where it says, "Report This Thread". I couldn't find it. I then looked over the entire page that the thread was on, and didn't see anywhere that I could click on to report the thread.

I really don't want to be bothered to have to take the time to write a PM to a mod every time I encounter such a thread, so I want a simple tool where all I have to do is click once and the thread will automatically be reported to Pekka.

Does such a tool already exist? If so, where is it? If not, then can we get such a tool in the very near future?


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Click the little triangle on the bottom left under the posters post count. That will report it to the mods,

This is the button:

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'text/html'


If it is the whole thread then hit the button in the first post.

If it is a single post in an otherwise legitimate thread then use the button in the suspect post.

Got it, and it's reported.
Thanks, Skip!
Thanks, Duane - that was helpful.
