There's no way Nate Hawbaker's favorite hero is Alan Stuart


ALAN IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN!

Simple question, really. It would seem that if the thread has already been locked (because a ninja noticed something was up), the reporting would be pointless. So, that begs the question of why we would have it in place.

Is it to further the message to the ninjas (and other users) that this member has done something clearly out of bounds, and shouldn't listen or click on anything he says? I'm really drawing a blank on any other reason it'd be in place.

If any of you happen to know a thread (looking at you Verachi) similar to this that has been posted recently, I'd be grateful if you steered me that way.

The same reason we can report ourselves.

To report something the ninja missed I assume.

Okay, so say an OP has a thread locked and the OP is banned for posting a link to a shock site. Someone in said thread quoted the OPs link (which is not allowed) and the moderator missed this. We can then report said person who quoted the link and it is possible that a moderator will catch it.

Worse comes to worse, you PM a mod about it or otherwise contact them efficiently and out of the public eye of Bnet.

Because inappropriate content may still be visible.

I have seen you future

In a long thread that a moderator has locked without reading the entire thing (think a 10+ page thread that has gotten off topic) you may still want to bring an inappropriate post in the thread to a moderator's attention.
