Why flag a post?


Just interested, being here on the forums for almost twenty years I have never flagged a post. The function must be there for a reason though. We are all different. Are some just more easily offended, or more sensitive to the, at times, course ebb and flow of the forums?

Not much need for the arrows with a quote methinks.
Charming?
Not sure about that one either.

However by including that post in my post I have also given the mods more work as to do the job correctly in ridding profanity they would need delete my post too.
So I will do that for them as a mistake on my part.

So yes, the arrows would have been more appropriate in this case.
Just as an FYI, I haven't flagged any posts in this thread. That way maybe you can all have your fun.
