How do you report messages for violating the forum rules?

In the "Forum Rules" thread, there's a link that says, "Report Message for Abuse." The problem is, I can't find it... there's only the "Link to this Message" link. Can I get a bit of help here?

 

Above every post made by members other than yourself, on the right-hand corner, you should see a button labelled "Report an offensive post." If you don't, then I suppose maybe newbies can't report people? Lots of changes have been made since i was a newblett.

 

Nope... all I see is this:




Oh, well, it's only a few more posts until I'm a member.

Edit: Thanks for the help, Auslander. I forgot to say thanks the first time I posted this. >_>;

 

Sure, no problem. You'll be a junior member in no time, and then you'll find yourself soooo grateful for little stops like that. We get some real idiots here and there that hop on and create a new account just to make trouble. This place would go to hell so quickly without such measures.

 

I think the "report a thread" tag only appears when you are signed in?
but I could be wrong!!

 

Yea you are correct, but how can he reply to a message if he isn't logged in?

 

Today's ironic twist:

My second post in this topic was post number 25 for me, which upgraded my account to Junior Member. Now, all the posts have the "Report for Abuse" link on them.

Thanks for your help, everyone!

 

I guess newbies just have to take all the sh1t that gets dished out eh?

 

Well, I reported the thread that I wanted to originally (which is how I learned that I couldn't report threads in the first place), and it's deleted now, so I guess a moderator already got to it.

You can close this thread, too, LOCOENG. It's served it's purpose too well to be wasting space on AfterDawn's server.
