Roughly once a year. Usually for minor stuff that annoys me, by posters that annoy me. Straw on back stuff.

Yes of course, all the time!  If we are to be a police state, made up of oppressors and 'rats', I want to be a good citizen and participate in the way that is appropriate to our new world.

You just abuse the system more blatantly than anyone else I can think of. There is nothing appropriate or conformist about it, since no one else does it nor approves of it.

are you saying opebo is one of the chief reporters?!  LOL, how does he come up with this level of hypocrisy?

Opebo reports a lot of posts that in any way targets him or disagrees with him. These reports are almost never acted upon because he reports extremely tame and inoffensive content. He also has never, as far as I can recall, reported a post that was not targeted at him.

So he basically just uses the system to get back at his personal enemies. He seems to consider this warranted because that's what everyone does in the system, but it's really only him. Other notorious overreporters do it in general, not just with posts directed at themselves.

I have not.  I've never clicked the "ignore" button either.

Twice : once when wormyguy made a fake survivor in order to pollute mine, and then when Feeble started his trolling phase.

Its not 'hypocrisy', you dunderheads, it is protest!

If we are to live in a society of squealers, then we should try to live it to the hilt, and expose its bad side by getting everyone sent to siberia.  Anyway, jmfcst, I only report insults coming from the little hitlers and their supporters.

Yes. Some people deserve to be reported if they attack other posters unfairly.

No, I have this wonderful big red X that I can click on if I dislike a particular post.

Me too.  I think they had spam links in them though. 

I've hit the wrong button once or twice as well, and immediately sent off a PM stating it was in error.

I've actually moderated my posts on requests from other members than I have had them moderated.

Yeah, I've reported a few personal attacks. Less than half a dozen, I think.

Very rarely; I believe GusChiggins' spamming was my first report. Either that or some not. I don't like censorship.

I basically stopped to report. I was stupid to involve myself in a report wars earlier (I reported first post months after I registered).

Now I realize that mods don't need my reports to deal with the severe trolls.

Never ever.

Reporting posts is probably the most barbaric uncivil thing any poster could do.  Especially if they supposedly believe in freedom of expression.
The only time I ever clicked the "report" button was to see what the page looked like.  That was it.

Not at all - just the opposite.  There can be no freedom of expression under the current regime.
