We need an additional choice added to the "report user" link in the bottom right corner of every message.
When we open the icon (circle with exclamation mark) we are given 2 choices only:
>> This content is abusive or harmful
>> This post is spam
....but there should be a 3rd choice:
>> This content is in the wrong forum/ or repetitious thread
NOTE: These two items happen frequently, where a guy makes an honest mistake and posts a college football thread in the NCAAB forum, like today. How do we report that so a correction can be made without having to go through all this effort posting a new thread in the HELP forum to report a thread that someone else posted in the wrong forum??? With only 2 choices I clicked on SPAM (rather than harmful content)...waited...and a day later my "report" was cleared and the thread is still standing in the OBVIOUS wrong forum....suggesting the investigating MOD did not view the post as "spam" so he cleared it....If there was a 3rd choice added (wrong forum/repetitious thread) the MOD would have looked specifically at that, then moved the thread appropriately (or in the case of multiple identical threads - eliminated all but one)
Likewise, it happens EVERY DAY where the identical thread is posted multiple times, clogging up the forum. I imagine this is NOT the users fault but nevertheless, a 3rd option to report seems warranted - rather than clicking on spam or harmful content - and rather than the inconvenience of creating a new thread HERE just to report what happens every single day, often multiple times!
This would seem to be a simple change in code that can easily be implemented.
