Just to avoid any further confusion... this button is only for posts that you are offended by or has some other legitimate reason for wanting removed. It is NOT a way of ensuring that Russ or Chris will read your own post as the moderators will assume that you want your own post removed. 🙂
It might be helpfull if there was a text box that apearred when you click on the Alert button, and it ould ask you what was worng with the post and if they clicked the button by accident
