every once in a while you see a really horrible post, but you don't know which admin to PM.
perhaps if there was a "report this post" next to the "quote" etc on the top right this would make it easier. it would send a pm to all admins and lead them right to that post.
of course, it would require a description by the reporter of what the offense is.
The only thing I can think of would be forum semi-mods that only act as advisors when mods aren't around. These would have to be very respected people in the community or what not.
However, I don't think implementing this would be worth the trouble.
People would report shit all the time, and I personally don't want to spend time sifting through PMs or a junk box full of complains.
If you see something bad enough that it should definitly be brought to attention, check the active members list at the bottom of the page (every page) and PM the first mod you see down there. That's what I always did before I was staff.

Well in addition to the "report" system, we should have a second system where users can report people who will make bad complaints, so the Mods can read those complaints and know which real complaints to ignore, thus saving them lots of time.

active members list? where?
maybe you're confusing a feature available to staff only?
i think that's been discussed before, and there was some concern that while it allows people to see mods who are online, it also allows people to see when no mods are online.
bigballs would be trying a revolution every week if he had that kind of information
