Why all the red report flags?

[Becca-OzB]

Am terribly new at this, but here is my problem.

A member posts something that is inappropriate - so another member "reports" it. I have set up a Moderator section of the forum etc so the admin/mods see the report. Thats all good.
The infraction is done.... all over and done with.

BUT..... every single post that member makes afterwards, they are all flagged with the red report flags and for the life of me, I cant get rid of them. So the threads are littered with these red flags.



*takes deep breaths* help... please??

*edit: attached a pic of what I mean

Those look like the "Give Infraction" links, they will appear in every post if you are a moderator or admin, you click on them to give an infraction on that post.

Thank you for your reply Paul!!


They are give infraction ones - but are on replies that didnt get reported. So that is where things look messy - every reply that member makes, regardless of what thread, a red flag appears on their post.

Its frustrating me because I cant see the need for it, and I cant see how to stop it from happening One reported reply ends up with a forum full of red flagged replies.
