Reporting out-of-place posts

[Borlon]

Is it appropriate to report a post that is in the wrong forum so that a mod can move it? There's a flamethrower post in rules (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=149958) whose OP has expressed willingness to have moved.

Reporting a post is much easier than coming to Meta and posting about, but his post is not at all harassing or anything, it is just in the wrong forum.

You can use the Report Post option. Just note why the post was reported and I am sure a mod will look at the thread and take care of moving if necessary.

It's just that the report post button produces a message that says "Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. "

I use it to say threads need moved

 

[Borlon]

I no understand that

[edit] Do you mean "I use it to say that threads need to be moved" or "It used to be used to say that threads need to be moved (but not any longer)" or something else? [/edit]

I had a pronoun that thought it could hide.....

A post in the wrong forum falls under the heading "problematic" - especially if it was deliberately posted to the wrong forum.
