I've started tracking post objections.

If you object to posts maliciously, your ability to object and/or post at all will be shut down.

Malicious objections are objections for stuff you don't agree with in contrast with objecting to posts for obscenity of content that shouldn't be on the site. The decision will be purely up to my judgement.

I've never objected to a post, honestly before this didn't know objecting was possible.

Sorry to seem dense but how does one object to a post? (if one wanted to)

The little x after quote and mail.

So...how many people thought about clicking that little red x on this admin post? Admit it, lol!

Before anyone gets crazy, I don't think I have ever objected to anyone's posts and I've been playing off and on since '06.

I didnt even know you could object to a post. Honestly though, I dont EVER remember seeing an inappropriate post like that here, this community does really well policing itself while posting. Im really surprised anyone has maliciously objected too - seems out of character and odd here. Oh well.

Well I must have objected to lots of things I've posted then!!

Where in the help pages does it say that x in the box was to object?

I've clicked that box loads of time - I thought it was to remove my post (like when I've typed a response from one kennel and realised it should have been from the other kennel). It could well be me that's responsible for objecting to dog knows how many posts - a big sorry guys!

Always wondered why the posts never got removed!!

You make a good point Mourne. I've been here so long it never occurred to me that the x suggested close or delete, but it does when you think about it.

I've used it a few times over the years when there have been episodes of spam of dubious origin and content.

I could have sworn there was some indication of what that x did as well as the edit and so on, perhaps it was a mouse-over thing and it got lost in the shuffle with the redesign a couple of years ago.

Admin - better change that x to "object" or something. Or get that mouse-over working again.

Woops!!!!

I always thought that the little red x meant delete ... and could not work out why it didn't delete ... Sorry!!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one - oops.
