Okay, so here's the deal.
I am sick of getting flags for people who don't understand the terms of service, etc. I'm sick of hearing people whine and complain about how someone hurt his or her feelings. SO!
In order to complain about/flag a post you need to understand what you are not permitted to do. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING.
This is taken from the terms of service. Which can be found here in its entirety:

Okay, good so far?
GREAT!
Now moving onwards. A similar set of guidelines is posted here:
http://rantrave.com/community-guidelines...These are the community guidelines that we came up with as a group a while back, READ THEM. KNOW THEM. They aren't completely set in stone or what-have-you, but are a great starting point.
Posts that contain any of the following are AUTOMATICALLY DELETED (HINT HINT, these are the posts you should be flagging!) The Editorial page is also a great resource, and can be found here:
http://rantrave.com/editorial-reviews.as...Spam posts. If a post's content is available on multiple websites, we consider it spam.
Rants or Raves that are obviously incorrect or misleading: this includes attempts to spread disinformation, propaganda, or to impersonate another individual or group.
Rants or Raves that contain generalized or negative assertions about any race, religion, nation, creed, class, ethnic group, or sexual orientation.
Rants or Raves that advocate for the elimination of a specific race, religion, nation, creed, class, ethnic group, or sexual orientation, or that link to websites that advocate the same.
Advertising or promotion of commercial interests.
Pornographic or unnecessarily violent content.
Great, now that we understand each other and have done a tad bit of research, I think we should be able to get along better. Don't go around trying to upset people. If you are a person who gets upset, take a deep breath, go back and read exactly what was written. Most of the people here are reasonable, honorable people. This means that it may just be satire you overlooked.
One final piece of advice, everyone on here is an "expert," thus you should never take things personally, we just want to educate you in our own special way.
