I have a skewed opinion of this new feature compared to my friend Ed Brown.
I don't view it as having
Mom intervene; I see it as an advisory notice to the caretakers and I believe and expect it's something that should be used most sparingly.
Some things don't belong on this forum. Politics, religion, and bashing certain individuals on a regularly-scheduled basis.
All kidding aside, I'm serious about the first two: politics and religion have no place on this forum. Those are the rules of the forum.
However, some folks can't or won't distinguish when their post crosses that line. The Moderators can't read every thread and there isn't a heuristic algorithm running in the background vetting submitted posts. So, it's up to members to notice these things and inform the Mods that there's something which appears to cross the line vis-a-vis the accepted use policy.
Nowhere have I seen any statement saying a Moderator shall respond to every notice with an affirming action. It is, I expect, and advisory notice asking a Mod to look at some thread and make a determination. And, while IMNSHO it should be used extremely infrequently, I believe it does have a place.
Anyone wanna dare to disagree with me?!?!?!?
