I just noticed a little check/tick box at the bottom of posts labeled "Report". Has this always been there? Just curious!!

Yes, I think it’s always been there. At least as long as I have been on the forum anyway.

Interesting. Truthfully, I never really noticed it either.
Yes, if someone says something naughty, you can click Report, and the admins will be notified. The feds will then show up at the person's house, and ... just kidding.
But seriously, our mods and admins here do a great job of keeping a nice "tone" to the forum. Not sure how often the Report button has been used since it seems like things stay pretty calm most of the time.

Sometimes I accidentally hit “report” when I want to hit “like” when I’m on my phone (the screen is sooo small!) and I have a small mini panic attack until I close it out and apologize mentally to the member who’s post I was trying to appreciate! AND that is the only reason why I know that button is there!
Me too. I suspect it makes a difference if you're viewing the forum on a phone or computer. I'm on my phone. Clicking the word "report" works to report a post, so the functionality is the same, at least.

LOL. I guess I was SUI again LOL. I thought you were saying that I accidentally reported you LOL. I remember this now.
The report box is especially good to report spam posters to the admins. When you click on it, a message box opens up and you can make a notation (or not) that will got the the admins so they can deal appropriately with the spammer, or whatever other thing you are reporting.
I think it's nice for the admins to know why you are reporting someone or something, to include a notation as to what you may have issue with, such as bullying, or whatever it may be.

For me it (the Box) is only visible on some sub-forums. For example, I see it when I am reading posts in the General Business Forum, but not in post I read in the Lye-Based Soap Forum.
Yes, I believe so, as I have done that myself in the past and did not hear otherwise. But just so you know, I am not an Admin, just a member like the rest.

I mean, I think you really gotta think of silver linings. You can probably sell a lot of soap in the pokey....OR you can trade it for ramen, either way, win win!
