Who the hell do you think I am?

It's already been locked and the OP has likely already received their punishment, why does the report button stay there?

Wouldn't that just inconvenience the moderators?

*Raises hand*
Is mayonnaise a lotion?

I've wondered the same thing...

It's probably just tied to the site somehow and it would be a pointless, not worth the effort, waste of time to change. I think anyway.

I always imagined that it was for large threads that could be locked, but a moderator could overlook something offensive.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

So you can report overlooked offenses?

This. Even if it will be rare, it will happen occasionally.

Key

The point of a report button is to hide rule-offending or just generally offensive posts from being seen by the general public (by default, that is).

When a thread is locked, obviously, not all posts are hidden from the public. If it's a thread that is, for example, blatantly about religion, (Let's say.... "God is not real and why you're dumb"*. Yeah, that'll do.) and it gets to the 10th page before a ninja pops online and locks it up, then that's a good 250 posts that they'd have to read through (agonizingly) to find offenders if they wanted to truly clean up the thread for good.

I doubt any ninja would do that, and I don't blame them.

If someone else happens to be reading through the thread however and finds something like a bypass of the profanity filter, that's something that should be hidden from the general public (and result in a ban). Therefore the user would report an offense that the moderator would not have otherwise seen.

*This does not necessarily or definitely reflect the views at all of the poster and isn't meant to spark any sort of religious debate or discussion. It is used as an example and should be treated as such.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

My guess is that Achronos finds it amusing.

Is that why we can't report Ninjas as well?

Well that actually makes sense.

What doesn't make sense though, is how you can report yourself.

It makes perfect sense. That feature exists for the sole purpose of amusing Achronos.

Or if you feel like the punishment wasn't enough for the offense, the report option is still there.
