My point is that it should have been there from day one, at no extra cost. Regardless how much or little it's used.

We have 'Friend' and 'Ignore' buttons which are useless in my opinion, but lack the much more useful 'Report' button.  OK, I no longer have the need and given I am usually browsing the forum early I usually pick up the spammers first thing and I can now delete their posts and memberships. So I suppose you are right.

For the life of me I don't know why we need to use the funds we donated

.....Ah it's a 'club' one buys into. 
Now I see.

OK I see where you are coming from.
I just feel in a forum that has only a handful of posts each day; knowing you and JK patrol the forum early and regularly, the likelihood of anyone else prempting you is remote enough to question any additional expenditure on the upgrade. But if its a missing feature so be it.

Wasnt even aware of those other buttons. Don't need a 'button' to identify friends or ignore foolish prattle.

The button will be a no cost option as it is a few lines of code.
I need to make sure that it is implemented correctly so it work.

Basically it is a button that appears in every post that if pushed sends an email to the moderators so they can check the post and decide actions to take. On very large forums it is useful but we are only a small forum so Robert, Rich or I usually get there first.

The friend and ignores button seem to be set up more for a dating website.  The report button is a good idea because it lets the moderators know that you think something is wrong without having to go to a different page and write an explanation and then send it.

Like you could get one of those little remote control helicopters and hook a camera up to it and find out what your cat does all day by following him around the neighborhood.

Ok, I am now persuaded of the Report button relevance.

Ok - I was recalling your comment (back when this forum was set up) that we needed to make sure we identified the key requirements,  as you would be subcontracting the programming. But if its free...:thumbsup::rofl:
