I have recently seen an increase in people using the notify an admin link to answer posts! It is meant to be used as a way of reporting rude and against the rules threads and posts. it SHOULD NOT be used to answer to a thread. Post instead please.

Genue mistakenly made him one. (Goes to show even the great ones make hilariously stupid mistakes) Imagine if he made Grim a security?

I believe its admin security and moderators of the particular forums that are notified.

It is meant to be used by people to report offensive posts and threads. However I have seen an increase of them being used to reply to closed threads etc etc.

Mortiorchis, why don't you make a thread on all the forums telling everyone not to use that unless it's an emergency.

P.S. Dan your doing a good job so far. Keep it up! Just try and be Online a little more.
