Okay, so I've been a bit sloppy keeping up with site maintenance and I've figured out a way to make it a little easier for everyone...
If you take a look on any page with reviews, you'll notice each review now has Report listed below it (just next to the vote stat). Clicking on this will offer you a screen to report a review as being a dupe, against the wrong film, etc... without needing to post here. For the record, the process will still be the same- I still go through them and decide if the problem is one that needs addressing or not, I just have a handy-dandy on-stop screen for doing this now.
As you may realise, more info will be needed for flagging dupes (a second review) and reviews assigned to the wrong film (the correct film), so I've also put in mechanisms for selecting these also- a pop-up film selection screen for the latter, and a return to the original film page whereby you once again click on Report below the dupe review for the former.
Hope this all makes sense 
BTW, this doesn't mean I won't be going through the outstanding stuff listed in this fourum, I'm just saying try to use the Report function from now on and it should speed the process along some.
Cheers muchly,
benj. |

Benj, when one clicks 'Report', could it please automatically open a new window? Since it's a dead end, one always wants to come out of it afterwards, and one would usually want to carry on on whatever page one previously were. It would just save the hassle of having to right click to open a new window (or otherwise). |

Remember that Christian site that took a quick look and thought we were wholesome? REPORT, REPORT, REPORT...
Good point 
Advertise it as another "reward" for gaining higher status. People like getting rewards. |

I tried just now to use it via I.E., but it still didn't work (for a possible duplicate review; I think it has worked for something else), so it must be a general Mac thing. |

To rectify this, I've decided I'll iconify the review functions. This'll also free up some space for any future additions there. |

Thank you, Benj. You're always thinking of us! |

Benj - what do you think about swapping over the 'Vote' and 'Report' buttons, just for the sake of an old timer who will never get used to 'vote' being on the left
Even old lags like thee and me will get used to it in time - though a recent experience suggests it could take me a while. This week I had a car on loan while mine was in dock. Only after I tried to put it into reverse at about 60mph for the third time did it occur to me that I must use 6th quite a lot normally.
Fortunately I didn't succeed, or there might have been cogs rolling about all over the road... |

So? Makes sense to me. We're asking for help with that particular review since there's a problem with it. No?
If you don't like that, how about or an tilde or an asterisk?
(If the latter, then we can say "I just got your asterisk!".)

An exclamation mark isn't worrying?
We have an exclamation mark on the front of our IBM servers here- if that icon lights up, we know we're in trouble
What about a question mark?

If so, he'll have to make this change quickly, or else we will start hitting 'Vote' when we mean 'Report'. |
