Last evening, we had a thread in buzz that needed to be killed asap. I had to go find a thread by our moderator to grab his email address. I feared he was out of town and knew Randy was.

I think it makes sense to have a red button up near the header that says "Moderator Alert" .. I also think it makes sense to create an email address (e.g. [email protected]) that has a small background distribution list - say all moderators and someone inside FT (other than Randy). When you click on this Moderator Alert button, the message would be sent to all of these folks in the background.

Gratefully, Craig WAS in town and was on top of this in moments. But you know, he's on this board because he travels . As do all our moderators and Randy. It just seems to me that by alerting all moderators and someone who is normally in the House of Miles, that we could insure an adequate response time to these kind of poison posts.
