I'd like to see a "Report Thread" feature that could be used to bring to the attention of the staff any thread that has one or more people in violation of the rules, across multiple posts. I have seen a couple threads derailed by trolling just in the past few days by someone who disagreed with the underlying premise of the topic and spammed the thread with off-topic troll posts to the point that conversation died.
Of course, there would have to be some way of identifying the member causing the disruption, but perhaps that is/can be handled by the software that controls the report feature or by instruction how to use the feature.
The best thing you can do (best as far as helping staff) is to make a thread in the Questions for Staff section, quoting the posts you believe to be violations and letting us know in detail why you think they’re violating what rule.
