Hey everyone, I just saw this on a thread here, and on other forums there's a way to report very inappropriate posters (above simply flagging the post itself) - is there a way to do that here? Please see the thread below and the recent, disgusting post from Louis - methinks he's a troll, and perhaps something should be done?

Oh yes, scroll right down to the bottom of the page and you'll see "Contact Us", very bottom line, second from the left.
Sorry that the post has upset you. It is good that you are community minded and all.
Today is a holiday (in the U.S.), so maybe the moderators are on vacation.
Perhaps you can move on, and re-check the post next week.
My friends wrote me a long time ago to explain that this site is really just a public forum, for informational purposes only, and there will be trolls, upsetting comments in cyber worlds.
They advised at that time not to take it all so seriously.
It is not that your concern doesn't have merit.
It is just that sometimes, when caregivers get so overwhelmed, or even close to burnout, we tend to focus more on things we think we can control, or maybe fix. At a time when our own lives seem out of control, we can take the world too seriously.
Have some coffee, sit down with a cupcake. Talk to your friends on here.
No worries.....there are quite a few experienced posters who will take care of the offending poster for you. You don't have to do a thing, I promise.
In my opinion, the Report button works well enough. I've never contacted through another way to Report something, but good to know there is an option for that.
All gone!
Thanks for letting us know that the offending post is gone.
I was starting to get a little worried when going to that question, reading and not finding something offensive.......
Also, to be clear, it's not that it upset me, I just thought it should probably be removed quickly. I'm on other forums and am a semi-moderator on one of them, so I'm used to reporting posts; they kind of rely on us for that. But, the other forums is also HUGE, so the mods can't always know what's going on unless we report directly. I know every forum is different on how things work, though, hence this post. Thanks again, everyone!
I have often contacted the mods by email and always get a helpful reply. it is usually because i am not getting notifications and they always fix things quickly.
