Report this post.
Well, not this one. (Unless of course it doesn't conform to forum guidelines).
Anyone have suggestions on how we can make the Report Post image easier to identify?There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

I think the Stop Sign is universal enough of a symbol that people would connect the notion of reporting a post to it if they were asked to do so.

The yield symbol is also a pretty good one (minus the word yield of course ).

How about the classic Mr. Yuck sticker? Or maybe this dude:

Just out of curiosity how many "report a posts" do you receive daily on average?
What's your budget?
Seriously, what's your budget?

I think some sort of image containing the word "Report" or phrase "Report this Post" should be used. It needs to be clearly defined so people don't have to go hunting for it.
I think Prohacker is on the right track.TradeViceroy

How about a text link "Report This Post To A Moderator"
It's quite simple...Just put it after the AWS "warn this member" text in the postbit template.Big things coming soon

That existing report button is not "report" related. Icon needs to relate the symbol icon not just random because I studied the problem solving in design area.
