Manick's better suited at this kind of stuff, so I'll wait for him to respond...Unless another member has a solution?

Try the miraculous clear your cache solution. it worked for me.
And holy`bell, I said your comments are good because they are the only ones I ever remember reading where someone bothered to use the [spoiler] thing.

It worked, even with my add-ons enabled. Thanks.
After that last one I promise, again, no more 'accidents'/tests.

I suppose I'll put in a better confirmation page (w/reason) when I get some time.

What happens when we report a comment? How does the system work?
Edit: Perhaps I should elaborate. The FAQ says to use the "Change Request" button instead, which is a bit puzzling.

Reporting a comment means reporting a comment a person made on a series (look at the info page of any popular series on this site, scroll all the way to the bottom, and you'll see what I mean). Click "Report" for any comment to report it.
A "Change Request" as the FAQ puts it can be found on your User CP (on the menu to the right). Click "Request Change". Use this for any information you do not have permission to edit (such as series info, release entries, certain series/author data, etc)

Yes, all of that was already clear. But it doesn't tell me what happens when I click "Report", or why the FAQ says to use "Change Request" instead of that.
If it is as series comment in question, you will need to fill out the Change Request form which you can find in your User CP or by clicking here. Please tell us the name of the series where the comment was made, the username of the person who made the comment, and why you believe admin action needs to be taken for that comment.
In any case, I did report a post, and I think that added one of those "this post hasn't been moderated yet" messages, but later it was gone and the post was unchanged (it contained something that constitutes a spoiler, though I don't know if it's actually accurate or not). Perhaps reports are being ignored in favor of requests for change, because the latter allows to supply a reason for reporting it. But then, I'm only guessing.

Ah, that FAQ entry in question was made before we did the moderation of comments via the new report feature. Unfortunately, you are correct that there is no "reason" to input when reporting a comment via the easy click "Report" method. Adding a reason is in the backlog of site changes that Manick will never get to.
The bottom line, use the Change Request form for better results (as long as you give us all the info we need)
