New Feature - Reporting a Post

Hi everyone,
Overall, the forums have been a FANTASTIC place to get support and just meet a great group of people. I'm ecstatic that we are lucky enough to have such an amazing community. As the community grows, however, it's inevitable that we'll have a few minor situations here and there where tempers may flare, or someone tries to abuse the message boards by posting ads for other sites and services.
I'm actually amazed that we've had so few incidents to date. But, to help ensure that we can retain the incredible environment we've all created together, I posted a new set of forum rules so that everyone is clear on what is and is not allowed on the forums. The intention is not at all to suppress discussion or create a "big brother" atmosphere. Instead, it's just meant to clearly prohibit the things I think we all would like to discourage on the forums - mainly, personal attacks and advertisements.
I also created a new "Report Post" function on the forums. If you see a post that violates one of the rules, just click on the "Report Post" button to notify me. I'll take a look at your report and take the appropriate action. Since I don't have the time to read every post on the site, you can help alert me to any rules violations by using this new function.
Thank you all again for joining the site, and creating such an amazing community together. The intention of these rules and these new functions is not to change what we have, but rather to make sure we can preserve it. I hope that is self-evident. If anyone has any concerns or questions, please just let me know.
Thanks!
