As a general rule, I try to keep the business stuff out of Coffee Corner. (This is meant to be an off-topic area for fun discussions...not my personal promotional channel.) But every now and then, something comes along that I want to publicize as much as possible.
And such is the case with a feature that went live today: the ability to report blog comments.
Yep, just click "Alert Moderator" beneath a comment on a blog post and you can report spammers and other types of rules violators (as I learned the hard way, above).
Anyway, there have been several posts over the years asking for this feature (or wondering why we didn't have it in the first place), so I thought I'd pass along the news.
Unsure when to report a comment? This page should help.
Come on, I'm sure it is fun for you to provide the bad examples...:)
Yes, but, given the issues with reporting issues as expressed in this thread and other places, does this really make any difference? The feature might be available, but will it be acted on?

Dell, Jerry and I tried so hard to keep this discussion on the CC fun side of life...:)
Hi, Dell:
I'm not going to respond to other threads in this thread, but I'll gladly respond to your specific question.
You can report a blog comment for three specific reasons...all of which are clear violations of rules of engagement.
So the short answer to your question is "yes." And I hope members will start using this feature -- especially to report spam.
dude... you missed our unofficially title tag of [Status Update]
Coffee Corner became our replacement personal status updates (which is where Capra came from). It's how we self-promote our posts :)
good to know I can report blogs. I hated reporting the blog for comment spam.
I don't miss anything 'round here. It's just that I'm a rebel.
Probably why last night my captain was all like, "You're a loose cannon, Janda! You don't respect the law!"
And I was all like, "Yeah, I wish I could sit safe behind a desk, but I'm out there...getting things done! If you want me to clear the Community of spammers, it's gotta be on my terms!"
Then I tried to turn in my badge, and my captain was like, "Stop, Janda! You know we need you!"
And I growled, "Then stay outta my way..."
Sorry...what were we talking about?
