The sign used in writing after an exclamation or interjections, expressing strong emotion or astonishment, or to indicate a command.
AVOID OVERUSE!An exclamation point is used to express strong emotion.
“No!” he yelled. “Do it now!”
An exclamation point may be used to close questions that are meant to convey extreme emotion.
What on earth are you doing! Stop!An exclamation point can be inserted within parentheses to emphasize a word within a sentence.
We have some really(!) cool tattoos on sale this week.
Note that there is no space between the last letter of the word so emphasized and the parentheses. This device should be used rarely, if ever, in formal text.
An exclamation point will often accompany mimetically produced sounds.
“All night long, the dogs woof! in my neighbor’s yard.”
“The bear went Grr!, and I went left.”
If an exclamation point is part of an italicized or underlined title, make sure that the exclamation point is also italicized or underlined:
My favorite book is Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

It would be for Posts you feel are inappropriate, as in Topics, etc. and for people who are Rude, etc. Use it with caution, but use it when approprate as well.

If it is something that is generally offensive to most people it can be reported with the explanation. I reported one discussion because it made refrence to a nastey historical figure as a super-hero and I copied and pasted the exact quotes for them in theexplanation box. It is to help them monitor the site because as you can imagine, it is very hard for them to constantly check up on every topic and comment.
