Like, certain powers just for mods, and possibly other trusted, longtime users? I can see the merits of that, definitely.
Also, if anyone knows- have there ever been any past instances of the report button getting spammed in such a way? (I can't really think of any reason why anyone would spam it like that...)

I don't know of the report button getting spammed but everytime someone hits it an email is sent to all the mods. If you get multiple people reporting it the mods email inboxes become full of notices about the SAME problem. That's why when the first person who sees the bad post/thread posts a message that they're reporting it so other people don't keep reporting it.

The report button might also put a message in the hidden moderator forum on here, not sure about that though.

Re: 47 second delay

Sounds to me like the report button functionality needs a little bit of reworking... like it disables after a single user hits it. That would make the moderators only get 1 email per problem, and would eliminate the need for a delay on the reporting system

The problem is, the report button is probably a standard part of the vBulletin package. To change how it works is probably more work than its worth for the amount of spam CD gets.

Re: 47 second delay

This has come up in the past and I said I would try to work out some better methods to report and curb spam.

Current:
User reports. E-mail goes to all mods. Thread is created in mod area. User replies. Many times multiple users report, causing multiple e-mails and replies to the mod-thread.

Proposed:
User reports. E-Mail goes to all mods. Thread is created in mod area. A 'reported' reply is automatically added to original thread. Report-to-mod functionality is disabled for that thread for 1 hour, to prevent duplicate reportings.

I'm also going to go through the 'reported post' e-mails and see who reports the most consistently. It looks about time to find some more moderators, especially those who are so active.

Re: 47 second delay

The 47 second rule is an issue when deleting users and posting responses in the moderators thread. Is it possible to remove timer on the mods thread only?
