Recently I implemented a system on where each reported post automatically starts a thread with a copy of that post in the moderator area of this forum. This ensures that even though the email system may be having a bad day, the moderators all see the posts. It is then possible for the moderators to have an orderly reponse to the reported post (discussion if necessary).

A very large number of people accidentally report posts when what they meant to do was reply to them (this is obvious from the comments they leave with the report).

Where that is obvious we tend to ignore such reports.

Some people abuse the report post system to get priority attention of the moderators. Those posts tend to get ignored as well. PM works just as well.

The volume of reported posts that require moderator attention is very low.
