I think the button was hit. Big difference. We should be able to know who hits the button? Might stop a lot of frivolous 'abuse button' pushers if their screen name was going to be made public. Pretty easy to hide and accuse people anonymously. That's a darned good idea. The "ability to confront your accuser" was a foundation of this nation for this exact reason.
Would probably make the moderation easier too, and make the whole thing more transparent to all users.
I hope they take this suggestions. I'm suprised nobody thought of it before.

I would think that it would make the moderator's job a lot easier. It wouldn't take long to find out who the real whiner's are around here. Growing up we were always told to perform our tasks as though we had to sign our names to them.
If someone feels so strongly that they need to hit the abuse button then they shouldn't be ashamed of their having done so. jmho

You fellas aren't clear on the concept. The moderation on FR is purposely set up to be anonymous. - It's a question of control.

Are you kidding? There would be nothing but "fight threads" making Congress look like amateurs.
