So that you don't have to go and bother to PM a mod saying "go to this post because it is a troll pl0x".
Pressing the button will alert a Forum Mod to the post and there they will determine what is wrong about the post, and whether or not to delete it.
This could be like Report Abuse, but more faster.
Anti-abuse:
1. You can only flag posts in a certain time range.
2. Accounts with the same email cannot flag the same post.
3. New accounts must wait a day (or a few days if that makes it more failsafe) to be able to flag posts. |

No support.
Report abuse works fine. |

"Report Abuse works fine"
I reported an inappropriate thread and it was still up the next day.
Your point is? |

So you're implying this flag system will somehow be faster?
How so? |

| Unlike sending a pending request along with millions of other requests, this system could send an immediate (if still pending) message to an online forum moderator. |

I see.
Well, that depends: Do forum mods review forum abuse reports?
If yes, no support. If no, complete support, we definitely need this. |

As far as i've heard, the Report Abuse system is in-fact NOT a localized system.
The entire Report Abuse system is one big collective, so it takes times for pending reports to go through.
This is kind of hard to explain.
What I mean by this is that if you were to Report something in the Forums, there is no squad of report reviewers that can review that sort of thing, there is just a team of report reviewers that reviews ALL reports.
I am proposing that instead of sending requests that have to wait to be read (and it usually takes hours for reports to be reviewed), that Forum moderators just get a flag telling them to go to a flagged post. |

To simplify, everyone thinks that the Report Abuse Review system looks like this:
Game reports: 4236 User reports: 9751 Advertisement reports: 1903 Forum reports: 2892
This can't be true because it is unrealistic to have separate teams working on different groups of reports.
But I think there should at LEAST be a team for inappropriate/troll Forums. |

Okay, just confirmed this isn't really necessary.
I reported a PA thread and in a minute it was deleted.
Still a sweet idea though |

This could be spammed easily, just like Report Abuse often is.
