    To report what?  Like to report someone for doing something that should be checked out by a site ref?  What do you recommend?  Maybe I could have the "Report!" button/link automatically send an anonymous private message to the site referees with a link to the offending content...??

    That's what I prefer, but a lot of sites like to know exactly what offended about the post, so they have you send them a comment.

    By the way, WOTC only uses a tiny little exclamation .gif icon (21x17) to the upper right of posts so that the report button isn't too obtrusive.

    I added a link to the bottom-right-hand-corner of all content the site has... "Report Violation" -- it allows you to add a single line of text describing why you think the content is offensive or violating some law or whatever.  Your username and a link to the offensive content (along with your one-line description) is placed in a special list (similar to the Support Issues list) that only site referees (currently only me) can see.  There, the report can be looked at and some action taken. Try it out and let me know if it's good enough?  I'll delete any violation reports made as a test.
