To me it seems to have gotten a lot worse since the downvoting was removed.
I mean, FFS, even this message[^] was reported. First I was stumped, then I had to laugh, but now I'm just mostly sad. Sad that so many people totally lack the cojones to tell other people to the face their problem is. I mean apart from the obvious.

The appropriate place to post something like that is in the Soapbox ... err, wait a second , you did.
I don't start a lot of discussions anymore because I seem to offend too many people. The god squad comes out and reports you until the message is removed and your account is shut down. So much for the free interchange of ideas.

QA sucks.
Other QA sites also suck.
I still blame the format.
people also suck, and I blame them as well

Is this message really intended for the member or is it more meant for the rest of us? I suspect something in between.
Anyway, there might be a better way to get the attention of the member. I checked the Sugs and Bugs forum to find the Question (using the link provided by ProgramFOX). That lead me to the member page and finally the User name of the member.
You see, I have a sneaky suspicion, that the "@ feature" Chris added, will send a notification to the member, saying he/she has been directly mentioned in a post. So let's see if @User-10534308 reacts to this.

@somad Did you get a notification?

Yes. Email and everything. I don't recall Mr. Maunder telling us about that when he released the feature, but I once received an email from a member I had reported in the Spam forum where I had linked to the profile in this way. In his reply I could see an email had been sent to him. @marcobertschi

Some may getting unwanted emails.

@sexygirls: Email me.

Noooo, dammit. Go away. Or change that mankini. Nooo.
But since you are here anyways, how's the my last request going on?

First off, I never change my lucky 2011 mankini.
Secondly, I believe Mr. Maunder was travelling last week so I'll have to remind him next I catch him.

It would be a shame if he enabled an easy Annoy&Spam mechanism by accident. I am just trying to help

 Would've been fun, either.

Mostly him, because it makes me look like an a-hole, by saying I'll do something and then not doing it, and his question just vanishing. At least if he reads this, or contacts me later I can refer to this as an explanation of why I didn't respond.
But yes, I guess there is an element of wanting to point out to some people that their actions have consequences, intended or not. I can't say it direct to them, because the system doesn't let us know who they are - rightly IMHO - but that let's them continue with something that is not constructive.
