Reporting a post

Pretty please ask them? Marshmallows and [cupcakes]

Fora. It's a neuter plural.

Why can't we post animated emoticons like you can on other forums? ? Forae?

mollie wanted to know about getting her own posts deleted, Jess.

Basically mollie the GN staff don't have time to monitor all the threads and make sure that their "talk guidelines" and other rules are being followed by all posters. So if for instance you spot a new poster trying to advertise (without paying GN) or posting a link to something nasty it is helpful to report it. Likewise if you see anything else that breaks guidelines. In this way we can all help to keep GN legal, decent and honest. To find the guidelines click on the Getting Started link at the bottom and then the Netiquette link on that.
If it was not a thread that was the problem - e.g. if it was a PM, (and it has happened for instance that journalists abuse this) then there is also the contact us option at the bottom of the page.

If GNHQ aren't paying attention (I expect it's time for their cucumber sandwiches and ) it would be a fun thing to organise Ana and by the time they'd figured it out they'd have deleted so many posts they wouldn't know who was to blame.

I know Soutra, your point wasn't lost on me but it still means involving a third party. A delete button, or an edit button, is much more desirable IMHO.

Well, let's hope we don't all do it at once.

Yep
That was what I apparently failed tried to recommend on the the thread about an edit/delete button a wee while ago.

So we can just report any of our own posts we've had second thoughts about and they'll be deleted, just like that...?

Ta muchly.

Yes, mollie - You just need to use the report button and ask for your post to be deleted.
