Why post here?!? There's a Report button on every poster page -- the red circle with the exclamation mark -- that sends your concern directly to a moderator. I've used that feature dozens of times to report duplicate posters, incorrect countries, incorrect tags, etc.

I don't have a problem with using the forum to discuss and debate overall development of the site. But using the forum to simply report problems with individual posters seems pretty inefficient, particularly since the web site developers have been kind enough to provide us with a much better way to do it.

P.S. Since I'm already on my soapbox , it also bothers me that folks use the Shoutbox to report problems with individual posters. It wastes space on the home page with nitty gritty details that 99% of us don't care about.

Yea, I guess whatever we do this will never go away. Using the internet daily I've just learned to live with these kinds of things. People will probably never stop using the sandbox for these kinds of things, because the people that do it are newbies, and the newbies don't read posts like yours.

Yeah, I can understand and accept when newbies don't user the features as they were designed to be used.

But Crane has 1,500+ uploads, so he's obviously not a newbie. (Sorry to pick on you, Crane, but you're close at hand .) And on the Shoutbox, richard3rd posted four Shouts about poster/0528e150 being in the wrong group, but he's got almost 5,000 uploads and he's been registered for almost three years. (Sorry to pick on you, richard3rd, but it's easy when jayef even tells you in the Shoutbox to use the Report button .)

So, it seems to be everyone, not just newbies. Unfortunately, I suspect that there simply aren't enough moderators to filter these I've-got-an-error-to-report posts out of the Forum and Shoutbox and move them to where they properly belong. Like you, I'll just have to learn to live with these kinds of things.
