All that report button does is change icons. It has no use unless it's used against a new account. I didn't report anybody.
For those who didn't notice, it says that the thread is an April fools joke right in the first paragraph.
Am I the only one who has tried to make an April fools joke here?
Grey Wolf, when did I say that nobody would fall for it? The point of it is so that you fall for it. Falling for it means thinking it's real but realizing it's not once you actually read the thread.
And I don't know what this has to do with anything:

Duthomas, I disagree in that I don't believe that a single thread title (on a subforum that is not used by newbies in the first place) is enough to convince anybody from not joining the forum. If they really were offended, they would have read the thread to see what the poster actually had to say. And if they read the thread, they would realize that it was a joke. I didn't even mention that they would see that it was posted on first April (depends on your timezone) if that wasn't a big enough giveaway in the first place.
And I'm pretty sure that all of us joined this forum to discuss related to C++, it doesn't matter what opinions some people posses, that wouldn't have affected whether I would have joined this forum or not. Replies to my questions could influence whether I stay or not, but that's it.
So I'm not convinced this thread could have ANY possible harms.
