I seem to have been reporting many posts recently. One reason may be that I am trying to be more active now that I get a science advisor badge. But at the same time, I don't want to look like a small town sheriff, drunk on the power of his shiny star on his breast...

So my question: do the admins/moderators track who is reporting posts? And will I be warned if the mods think I'm too trigger happy with the report button?

If we think you are too-trigger happy, we'll let you know. You'll only get warned if you abuse the REPORT post button.

If not, continue reporting. If we don't find the reported post to be of any harm, we just won't take any action against it. It's that easy.

Homework Statement: Not applicable. I'm asking about a technical problem with the PhysicsForums software Relevant Equations: \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} I posted the LaTeX code for an expression in the "relevant equations" and "attempt at a solution" boxes. When I'm in the "attempt at a solution" box and I click "Preview," I do not see a preview of the expression properly displayed, only the code. After I post this message...
