The "Report" button to report objectionable posts is currently not working. While we troubleshoot, please email the admin team fpnadmin@gmail.com if you need to report a post.

Thank you.

Dear Admin Team,smile.gif9

Can you please post the link to the Objectionable Posts forum so I can see some samples of what I'm supposed to object to? It's hard to know when to press the soon-to-be-repaired button without some samples.

I've been told I'm pretty good about pressing other peoples buttons so I hope that skill transfers well to this context.

If the Objectionable Posts forum is really good, admins can password protect it and issue the passwords only to FPNers who meet certain standards, i.e., number of posts, percentage of Objectionable Posts contributed, and demonstrated ability to get the nib out of a "51" without damaging the pen, nib, or finger.

So much of FPN is wonderful I think the Objectionable Posts forum could be one of our most popular features.

BTW, Please don't tell me to check out some other Pen Boards to see some Objectionable Posts. I'm loyal to the gang here!

PS, didja know that if you use too many smileys you get an error message? Maybe the prize for message volume or humor is permission to use more smileys?

hi andy,

i think i am the one who objected to a post that a member posted. this member is not from the united states. i know that in his/her culture this joke is fine. but in other cultures it might be considered offensive. it was to me. please back channel me if you want more of an explanation.

It seems the button is working again. I just missed my big chance to be objectionable and go unpunished...
I think I’m gonna use it to communicate with our moderators... eureka.gif

Auntie,

Thanks, but no need.

Don't take me too seriously. I was just kibbitzing.

As far as I can tell the report button is still not working.

Also, I know you're just kidding, but many times that a post is reported it's not a matter of someone trying to be rude, and we don't "punish". In the recent case, it's a matter of opinion on whether a joke was offensive or not. These things are often so hard to call.

Neat posts Andy. Keep up the good work.
