I would like to have an option to report the thread/post. It could be because of repeating a question without searching, or plain abuse of the rules or for whatever concern. This would help the moderators keep the place a little bit more sane while taking preventive actions like warnings/bans etc.

Always borrow money from a pessimist, he doesn't expect to be paid back.

What I am suggesting is a report thread/post button - just like we have "Thanks" button or "Quote" button, which will pop up a form in which details of the problem can be mentioned. It will be easier to use than private messaging and thus will be more effective. It will provide a platform for better moderation.

I don't think it is that serious. After this competition is over those trolls will stop positng and the board will go back to normal.

We have a 'Report Post' feature in our project pipeline, but it's not so high on the list because of other really really cool things we're working on. Hopefully the issues mentioned will subside after the GMAT Giveaway competition concludes this week, per Osirus' point.

Thanks for this heads up though. If this continues to be a big issue for our community, we'll need to move this project up the list sooner.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
