As some of you may have noticed, there's a new "Page Moderator" link located at the bottom right of every post. This was added (back) to allow people to effectively "page" all moderators and administrators to a thread where something negative is occurring.

I want to assure you that the feature works, so please do not "test" it -- 14 people get an email to their personal email addresses when you use this.

Examples of when to use this:

- People are starting a flame war
- People are getting scammed
- People are spamming the boards

There are likely other reasons to use this, but this should be a good start. Think of it as a 911 call on NA -- if you call, we'll be coming in droves, so make sure it's an emergency.

I've already hit the button eleven times today

We didn't start the flame war, peeps were hatin' on it 'fore I left my comment.

*ahem* Great idea guys.

I wanted to quote this for reinforcement, as we've already had three users do this. You know who you are.

I was wondering why I got a ton of Emails yesterday from the bot, now I know why haha.

Sorry guys, 2 of those 3 clicks were by accident.

Good point...I'm sure somebody will accidently click it trying to hit "Quote" or "Reply"...is there a way to either make it sit further away, or have a "confirm" selection afterwards?

Just as some people accidentally call 911. If there isn't a confirmation (which I'm assuming there is, I don't want to test it out though) then there really should be one.

Penguin is a juggalo that goes back to the Carnival of Carnage days! **PAGE MODERATORS!!!!**

^that is a great idea to have a confirm message after it is hit just to filter out mistakes. probably would save lots of time on the mods behalf as well.

Yeah, I think a box should pop up with an "Are you Sure?" type of thing just to make sure you didnt click it by accident, as it is fairly close to reply and quote. Either that or move it to the opposate side away from everything.

Overally really great idea to be able to contact all the mods.

This is a great idea...glad to see the forums are always moving foward to be better for all of us.

^agreed, but, I also think people will abuse it. Eventually.

love it, great idea Dain

Would it be better placed just once up with the subscribe/email/etc links?

I am sure we will have "false alarms" but this is a great tool to help the admins/mods. This way we can police the boards and not have the need for other members to get caught up in stuff with ensuing flame wars.

Big question: If we'd like a mod to lock a thread for it being a finished auction, a new replacement thread, etc., should we use it?

With the page moderator button, does it let you type in a reason for the flagging? I don't know if any mod would have known Perfect's cart was a fake if someone had only flagged the post. Could it be possible to submit a reason for the paging of the mods?

yes mark, we get a little note with the email

Please, no. It's an emergency line. It doesn't take the entire moderation and administration to do forum janitorial work like this.

Great idea!

When you click the link, a new window opens up allow you to enter a comment. Once you submit the comment, the emails are sent. So in other words, just clicking the link doesn't do anything -- you have to submit the popup form.

i tested it before i looked at this thread
sorry guys

I clicked on it a few times yesterday, trying to figure out what it was. It is a lot easier than trying to look who is online to pm them

If someones breaking into my house in the night then all I have to do is press that button and all the NA mods will come to my rescue?!!!
