We do. Below your avatar area is a green dot and a red triangle. The triangle is the "report this post" button.

not stupid at all. It was a fair question and there's probably 50 people who thought the same but didnt ask. If you dont ask you dont find out.... and thats stupid.

So, that means that anyone who is logged in, can't see the "Report post" icon under their own avatar, but can see everyone elses. Cool!

Then, if someone wants to report a particular post, they click on that icon, fill in the form, and send it off?
What happens then?
Does the person who made that post then get notified by Admin and given a few warnings?

Just a few questions, but I am one of those 50 who don't know. LOL.

Depends on what is said in the reported post. The "report post" action just alerts mods/admin to the post and they then look at it and work out how long to ban you for..... :evil_laug

Once the post is reported an email is sent out to Mods and Admins, then the post is read to see if it actually needs moderating, not all reported posts are moderated some of the reported posts we receive are deemed to be OK.
