As for duplicate posts, they may have been caused by a problem with the forum and the poster is unaware that it has been duplicated or unsure how to rectify the issue. If I had a duplicate post and I wanted to report my own duplicate post, because I could not delete it, under the current restrictions I could not report it using the report function. I would have to PM a specific moderator and hope they were on duty.

This is a Big Brother forum...I expect the only way any person in the public eye (assuming it's not someone on here) will become aware of any form of libel will be if their attention is drawn towards it...I hardly doubt they're frequenting this forum every day in search of people trying to defame them. By reporting a post like that, then you
are drawing attention to it and making matters worse, I doubt anything would happen if you didn't, so why go through the trouble of it and in the process cause trouble yourself?
And I've never had a problem with deleting a post or had to PM any moderator to remove it...I've just...removed it myself. So I'm not sure why I'd want to report my own duplicate post, as if it's such a pressing issue anyway.
