That wasn't a personal attack, more like a basic observation.

Which is why he didn't worry about keeping in touch for 16 months before suddenly finding the time to meet with you.
What's so interesting about his mentality is that he doesn't consider 45 mins. away to be "local". Most places I've lived, it takes about that long just to drive across town.

Every time my son passes a gumball machine, he checks to see if there's any free candy ready to fall out.

Same thing, plus 20 years or so?

Are you a moderator or just a member?

Yeah...

Three questions I have...

Is the person who who posted that a moderator or just a member?

If that person is a member, is it really a good idea to point out to whomever posted the reply that what they posted is 1) a personal attack, 2) against the terms of service, and 3) they will be reported?

Shouldn't the moderators only deal with this and not members?

Because another forum I am a member of, if a member did this in a particular thread, a moderator would reply in that thread that their issue needs to be reported to them via the report button and that members are not allowed to engage in this type of activity.

Members can report whatever they want. Announcing to the board that they've reported someone and why generally is discouraged.

My understanding is that any member can report a post and it's up to the mods to decide if something warrants deletion or whatever.....

I understand about the reporting part...

What I am wondering is this....

1) Posting the fact that someone's post in not appropriate, 2) why it is not appropriate, and 3) the fact that the person who posted that post has been reported... all within the thread for everyone to see.

The other forum I belong to does not allow that. Using the report button is fine, but doing the above is not.
