This caught my attention. I ended up reading this forum to find out if flags were anonymous or not. Most (almost all) members are not going to go through that much trouble. I think if members were somehow made more aware of this then they may be more likely to flag offending posts knowing that the offender would not be aware it was their action which could cause them ‘backlash’. Our forum can get emotional fairly quickly.
Sending PM’s that are official warnings.
I noticed that as a mod if I add user (the owner of the site) to be included in the PM that the ‘official warning’ box disappears.
