Report a Spammer misuse

[jack anderson]

I recently posted information regarding purchasing used cabinets at the Habitat for Humanity Store. 99% of the responses were positive although I noticed one person decided to report my post as a spam. I guess anybody can attempt to place a report on any member and a green circle appears.... What exactly does this mean and how do I report a spammer misuse report....

I think the green circle means you're logged on....

A green circle? I think that just means you're online, as in had activity on the board within the last n minutes.

Oh my bad never mind I thought maybe it would turn red and they would kick me off the site...

Now I have a green circle next to mine too!

Some forums give out infractions/points that will show up in your profile. Not sure if that's done here.....

Ok, the red circle, I think I've seen that, some forums have where you can anonymously +/- a post, and that gives a person a certain 'karma', then if your karma goes negative, it turns red, and it might automatically ban you if it reaches a threshold. I don't think that is used here?

10 4 green is not related to the alleged spam report on my post several weeks ago just curious and dissapointed that someone would send in a report on a post helping people that might want used cabinets and other items while for a good cause etc...

No you don't. I do.

Take your mouse and let it 'hover' on the green dot. A fly-up text box will appear and it will let you know what it means In this case, green = online and gray/blue = offline.
