"Report Bad Post" Function Working?
Is the "Report Bad Post" function working? I have reported several bad posts over the past few days, and have yet to receive a response.

I reported one this afternoon and few moments the poster was banned. I have no idea if the report post function was what triggered it since it seemed to happen very quickly, but it appears to have helped.

I gave you a 5, so cheer up.

This all seems very strange to me. I'm wondering if somehow, like with the whole reputation thing, if some votes somehow count more than others? Does the "weight" of a vote on a thread rating depending on who is the rater? It's strange that even if those 4 votes were 1's that the 13 other votes wouldn't bring it up more?

As for the Report Bad Post, I still have not heard from any of the moderators (there are 4 in the forum), having reported the bad posts 4 and 5 days ago, repsectively.

Right now it is 18 votes and 1.44 rating. I gave him a 5 and someone else, probably himself gave a 5. The other 16 are ones. That is 26 points divided by 18 votes = 1.44.
Kinda amazing how he got piled onto by everyone.
