While there is a way to mark the main forum post as offensive in the forums, how about a way to mark replys as offensive.  Example: A user creates a thread and someone replys making fun of the person asking for help.  It would be nice to be able to mark the reply as offensive and possibly if enough people mark it as offensive, the post would be deleted.

Spam

yes, it can be helpful to give sign about offensive posts, even if some of these are usually removed by admin ( like spam , etc.)

Mark as offensive

I see the "mark as offensive" link only on the top post, not in following comments. Caa you confirm that it allows to mark a single comment ?

I just checked this out, and it looks like this isn't available to all users. I will work on this, as I'm not sure what the issue is. However, I do think that it is a good idea.

This should now work for everyone.

We think that we fixed this. At least our tests have shown that "Mark As Offensive" is available to all users. Thanks for the prompt.
