Posts can now be "reported" to the moderation team
I want to thank the many of you who have insisted time after time that a “report this post” feature was needed on here. We now have one! It’s still in testing, only on front page posts, and only available to logged in users for now, but it sends a notification to the team to review posts that may be spammy, offensive, off-topic, etc :-)
There are no punishments or consequences for using it, so feel free to report anything that you really don’t think should be on the site.. but especially spam.

Wonderful! However on mobile devices the “report this post” link is almost invisible because you need to tap on article’s text (on desktop it appears on hover). However, it is still in test mode so I hope it will be improved in the future.
I work on the team here with Peter — Thanks for the feedback Kaloyan, good point. Still improving as we go, so any other comments like this are welcome. :)
Also it would be good to have this link visible (ie. near post tile) when you open particular post to read
Nice! Thank you very much!
@CHRIS: You’re welcome, my pleasure. Few more issues: 1) link does not need to appear over sponsored posts; 2) it is a bit invisible but probably it is a desired behavior; 3) It would be really helpful to also have the “report” link INSIDE the post, otherwise I may need to scroll few minutes in order to report an article that I know is a SPAM.
@CHRIS: Sorry, I promise this is the last one: when I click to report an article it gets hidden but once I reload the page it is visible again and there is no any indication that I’ve reported it.
Thanks Kaloyan, your feedback is really great!
Awesome. Thanks for implementing this!
