Ok guys, time to help the mods. Instead of sending 100 reports of the same post, lets combine, and only send one. Here's how it's going to work:
User "A" makes an objectionable post.
User "B" Finds said post objectionable.
User "B" Also quotes objectionable post, and states he has reported the post to moderation.
Users "C, D, and E" also find user "A"'s post objectionable. Instead of sending in duplicate reports, bogging up the system, they simply thank the post that user "B" quoted and stated he was reporting to mods.
Moderator action:
Moderator/Admin reviews objectionable post, and makes their decision, whatever it is. They remove the post user "A" posted saying he objected and reported that post.
That will reset the respective post counts, thanks, and resume flow of conversation. Also, it will show the users the post has been reviewed.
Win/win for everybody.
EDIT:
Also, the person making the objectionable post will also see people are objecting, and may feel peer pressure to back off. Another possible win.
