It gets reported to the moderators. In this case, it was reported for being off topic. I'm forced to agree. Not that I care.

And this time, it really is Rexer's fault, even though he claims you told him to do it. So I'm not paying $10. --Bob

When pea asked, I thought she was just referring to the little "!" link at the bottom right corner of each post. Bob's reply makes it sound like her post was actually reported, but that may have been a tongue-in-cheek reply.

Or someone reported her questioning post after she posted the question.

Doubtful. All reporting a post does is add an ! icon to the head of the post. If I actually want to read the report, I have to click on that icon. That'll rapidly become boring -- if people want to say something interesting, they'll put it where everyone can read it.

And as far as I can tell, all I can do about a report (other than simply closing or deleting it) is to "warn" the user. I have no idea, though, what (if anything) warning a user does. Any volunteers to find out? --Bob

Sorry, gratuitous posting is not a reportable offense. You can report inappropriate content, spam, off-topic posts, and one other category I am too lazy to look up.

Where's the turtle, anyway?
