No, not enough people use the report function.
It's not there to rat on someone, it's there to alert. Maybe just let staff know that a thread is starting to get heated. Maybe to alter to a potentional underage or spammer. Maybe to say,"Clean up on aisle 4!" when something just goes off the deep end.
woods, I'd like to take the time to say before you accuse of being defensive, take a look yourself, since your posture in the posts are much more defensive than any of my explanations here. just an observation. and while you may say, "but i wasn't being snarky, just sarcastic!" remember, there's no body language here, just words on a computer screen.
