Is it possible to report a PM, I'm not seeing a button for it? Should I just forward the message to a mod, and if so should what mod?

Yes, the rules apply to PMs as well as forum posts. Forward it to any mod, along with your concerns.

If it is related to a certain (sub)forum I would PM a moderator of said board, if not I probably would pick Rawhide or Roland St. Jude.
If you want to be "fair" you could also just pick a mod at random :smallwink: (The list of moderators can be found in the forum rules (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/announcement.php?a=1))

Include "I give you permission to go into my inbox and confirm that I did receive this PM"; from earlier posts on this subject I believe the mods won't go into your inbox without permission or probable cause, and without doing so they can't know you didn't just write the PM yourself to frame someone else.
