Title: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: BitCoinDream on May 25, 2014, 10:13:27 AM Just 4 days ago my reporting accuracy was standing at 100%. In last 4 days I have reported 3-4 posts for referral spam and post in wrong forum. One or a few of them has not been accepted and my accuracy has come down to 98%, though I have not received any message for bad report. I would like to know which post/posts were reported wrong by me ?
p.s. Is it the case that one can not start a self-moderated topic in Meta ?

You don't receive a message for a bad report, though I think it'd be beneficial if we could see them or our report history. I believe they're kept on the system for two weeks. Maybe a mod will let you know which one was bad. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Cryptopher on May 25, 2014, 12:32:03 PM What if these bad reports came from previous reports that you had filed but had remained unanswered? It's reasonable, but not so likely.
I still believe that there should be more information in the stats that are presented. I wouldn't worry too much about bad reports, as you are doing a service to the forums in reporting suspect topics and posts anyway. With that said, I understand your frustrating in receiving a bad report for something that you clearly believed to be a good report.

One or a few of them has not been accepted and my accuracy has come down to 98%, though I have not received any message for bad report. I would like to know which post/posts were reported wrong by me ? You dont get a message for a "bad report". And I guess maybe the reports that you sent for "post in the wrong forum" would not have been accepted because its not a criteria for removing posts, it generally leads to moving of the topic. p.s. Is it the case that one can not start a self-moderated topic in Meta ?

This way, we would know not to keep reporting something thinking it is against the rules. For example, the OP in this case would've kept reporting all referral links if it weren't for you taking the time to tell him what it was.Ref links are allowed if they're on-topic, which this is. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on May 25, 2014, 06:13:04 PM That's exactly my reasoning and I made that same suggestion here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=593956.0). Guess someone should suggest it for the new forum.

Guess someone should suggest it for the new forum. Hell, I think that we should have it on the existing forum, who knows when the new forum will land. It doesn't have to be a massive report with the ability to drill down to particular reports or anything, just the ability to see how many of our reports have been acted upon and how many were flagged as incorrect would be a good start. Of course, the ability to view the incorrect ones would be nice.

one more question can having a Low accuracy rate while reporting can backfire and if it does what are the consequences, what is good accuracy rate 50+% ,75%+ , 80%+ ,90%+ or it should be upto 95-100% .? Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on May 29, 2014, 05:47:46 AM I don't think it could backfire unless you had a minus score :D or was just spamming the report feature with crap all the time or something. And I've read a couple of times by mods that 60% is considered a good score and it's more about volume of posts reprted than 100% accuracy.
Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: BadBear on May 29, 2014, 05:51:06 AM If it would be incorrect for a moderator to do anything in response to a report at the time when the report was made, then the report is considered inaccurate. Reports are explicitly marked as incorrect by moderators. It's also possible (though rare) for a report to be marked as neither good nor bad -- such reports don't count toward your accuracy percentage. Average accuracy is 56%, so 60% (66% now) isn't bad. Unless you're only reporting really obvious stuff, very few people will have accuracies above 90%.

Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: theymos on May 29, 2014, 05:57:38 AM Here are some updated stats:
In all, there have been 27,689 good reports, 8129 bad reports, and 1067 unhandled reports. I think that this is all pretty good! Any accuracy percentage above ~25% is probably fine.

Thanks theymos for also confirming accuracy nice to see you care. I've only reported a few posts the entire time I've been around, and that's just because people start threatening to blackmail others or follow them from thread to thread harassing them constantly everywhere they go. Those situations suck. Past that, I don't report people.

I can't wrap my head around it :-\. And would a very high percentage of accurate reports ever actually count against you? I'd like to keep mine as high as possible just for my own personal achievement/entertainment (as lame as that might sound 8)), but I don't think I just report 'obvious' stuff, but obviously can only report things I'm aware of, but I'd like to think I've learnt and know generally what most things should and shouldn't be reported by now (though I'm not claiming I know everything as there's bound to be things I'd miss or aren't aware that should be reported as of yet). I wish there was an extensive thread somewhere of what stuff should and shouldn't be reported though. I think that would help a lot of users out (and also consequently the forum).

Thanks for the stats. I am a bit surprised to see there are "only" 27K good reports, while ckolivas already made about 990 good reports in Jan 2014 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=381304.msg4838060#msg4838060). :D Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on May 29, 2014, 08:11:13 AM I think the people who report near or in excess of 1000 posts will be the rare exception, aside from probably moderators.
Is there a daily average of posts reported available? That would be interesting to see. Does the mods' job mainly just consist of handling reports?

I don't think there's many people like ckolivas. I should imagine he was leading by very far and I would expect a few people to be around the 800 reported posts. It's a eye opener really with those stats, I have contributed 529 reports to that figure. I wonder how much people report, looking at that figure It suggests that not a lot of people report. I should expect that most established members have reported successfully in the hundreds. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Baitty on May 29, 2014, 10:57:56 AM How long does a report take to be taken care of? do you know if it has been seen too? 1st report I made today and it's still on 0%.
Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on May 29, 2014, 11:10:10 AM It probably depends on a number of factors. Time of day, mods online, number of reports currently in the que etc. Sometimes it can take a while to be handled and other times it's almost instantaneous. You'll find out soon enough.

There is currently no mechanism for us to see if our report has been dealt with for sure. You can try figure it out if it has been acted upon but there's no way of being sure, well, not unless you ask politely and maybe they will let you know. Either way, as a leisurely user of this forum I wouldn't get too stressed out with bad reports. See it as a service that you are freely providing to help the community. Sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong. All of those who are reporting, keep up the good work!

It really depends, as already mentioned, on several factors. Some reports can be handled by more mods, some by less. Also, don't worry about the percentage, it's more of a reminder of what kind of posts you should report rather than judging the quality of those reports.Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: BadBear on May 29, 2014, 11:37:54 AM How long does a report take to be taken care of? do you know if it has been seen too? 1st report I made today and it's still on 0%.

Your bad report was on this post, which is fine: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622909.msg6929630#msg6929630 Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: dogie on June 01, 2014, 10:25:58 PM You have reported 232 posts with 89% accuracy.
Meh. There's always going to be an error factor, and its hard to tell exactly what you do wrong when it flickers between roundings.

Yeah the report tracking from a regular users' perspective is very limited - who knows whether your report has been handled if there is no change in the success percentage. If you don't know where you went wrong then how can you hope to improve?

Seems like a good point It could be possible to have the report function have a comment section that the admin or moderator can click on in the future Basically *good report *bad report *other (specify) Could add it onto the new forum software Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: dogie on June 02, 2014, 02:55:30 PM You have reported 232 posts with 89% accuracy.

Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Welsh on June 02, 2014, 03:26:06 PM I've contacted a few moderators in the past with questions. I wanted to know more about the moderation policy and what to report and what not to report. Also, things which I should be looking out for and help as much as I can. Although, I came to conclusion that there are no defined rules. Each moderator using their own initiative, imagination and common sense. So, they suggested that if you think something is infringing a 'rule' report it and give a explanation why you have reported it or you could even write what would be a better alternative. For example, reporting a thread and stating "wrong forum" isn't always helpful, because they may disagree, but putting "Wrong forum, move to service discussion" for example is giving your opinion on where that thread is better suited. They may disagree with you or might not but it's showing that you think it's better if it would be moved.
The people who I spoke to too said that no one should worry about what percentage of good reports you have done too the majority of people are in the good bracket. I guess it could be a nice little feature to know where you have gone wrong so you can improve in the future, but there is no need that's the moderators job you don't have to be right every single time. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: malevolent on June 02, 2014, 03:47:37 PM For example, reporting a thread and stating "wrong forum" isn't always helpful, because they may disagree, but putting "Wrong forum, move to service discussion" for example is giving your opinion on where that thread is better suited. They may disagree with you or might not but it's showing that you think it's better if it would be moved. If you simple state "wrong forum" and the topic in question is moved either by the OP or by a mod to the right forum section, then a different mod seeing the report might mark it as a "Bad report", unless they (we) can easily see that the topic was initially in the wrong forum section. If you're certain it's in the wrong forum, but unsure where it belongs, just write "does not belong in x".

Its better then move into.

Can theymos or a mod share a little bit details about that? :) Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: squall1066 on June 03, 2014, 12:52:48 AM For example, reporting a thread and stating "wrong forum" isn't always helpful, because they may disagree, but putting "Wrong forum, move to service discussion" for example is giving your opinion on where that thread is better suited.

I see, ::) this would explain my 34% accuracy, I must mention to others I only have reported 4 things, and a good job too with my success rate ;D Also, I would tend to report things I could see wrong, But as all ready mentioned, Others might not feel the same, But I agree with some sort of forum feedback idea, I know it might chew up more mod time in doing so, But it might help slow bad reports coming in. I have been a mod on other sites, Nothing like bitcoin, just a beta gaming site years ago, My main problem was bad apples, Not being a site controller, I had no jurisdiction over bad mods who abused the position, Deleted posts they did not agree with, Promoting their propaganda Etc...... Here is quite good, I get a good response out of any questions I ask mods, I agree there seems to be no "Textbook" answers to problems, But each mod has a good level of competence in their field, I just leave them to it.

Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: DannyElfman on July 10, 2014, 04:08:55 AM Is it a problem if a user has a bad "report to mod" accuracy rate? I personally don't see an issue with this as long as the user is not going crazy (making, say 100's or other large amount of) reports that are clearly invalid, especially considering that it is not always obvious if something if against the rules, and some level of judgment needs to be used.

I reported total 246 till now and accuracy is 90%. The funny thing is my accuracy has stayed at 97% for well over the last month during most of those reports and I didn't notice my score go up or down. I must've got some bad ones for my score to have not gone up a percent. It seems I've had 50 bad reports all together so far. Is it a problem if a user has a bad "report to mod" accuracy rate?

Define 'bad' accuracy rate. Having 0 probably is, but several mods have mentioned before that around 60% is considered a good score. Wow, hilariousandco has 988 good reports in the past 60 days (16.5 per day). That is really impressive! :o Haha. I didn't realise it was that many. I guess I must be 'spamming' the reports too? :D.

Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Cryptopher on July 14, 2014, 10:47:31 PM I don't understand how they can get that many good reports. If you throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick. The staff have always said that it's not so much about accuracy, as it is about the number of reports. Of course, if you report a load of posts about 90 odd percent of them are marked as correct then that's fantastic work. I don't even see that many 'reportable' posts. Probably because all the people reporting, which also includes many others, are doing a great job :D Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Maged on July 14, 2014, 11:03:48 PM 2.5 months for me, though that was at a time new mods were badly needed, a few of the global mods had been on hiatus for a while and never returned.

I don't understand how they can get that many good reports. I don't even see that many 'reportable' posts. According to your stats your top3 boards are: Off-topic Beginners & Help Bitcoin Discussion Off-Topic posts are, well off-topic. Most of the time off-topic stuff gets posted elsewhere and moved there. I wonder if ever someone posted in off-topic but it should have been somewhere else. Beginners & Help is also strange because it allows almost any topic, even somewhat off-topicish posts are ok. In B & H there is also the strange notion that each and every topic can be discussed over and over again. There are some "funny" posts in B & H. On page 1 someone asks X and gets several very good answers from veteran members like DeathAndTaxes and DannyHamilton, OP askes some more questions and gets some more good answers. Thread goes to page 2 and several newbies come in and answer the OP question but in a single low quality sentence. The answers are not false, but they are shallow and a better answer has allready been given. This keeps going until the thread for some unknown reason finally sinks down into B & H Hell after some 100 posts. Bitcoin Discussion is the "it does not fit elsewhere" board so again not much to report out of there. Dev & Tech Discussion and Tech Support however get mixed up daily. Same with Tech Support and Mining or Tech Support and the boards for a specific wallet. Trading and Service Discussion get mixed up with eachother as well as with Speculation. So its all about where you mainly read/post. Some sections need more heed than others. I don't understand how they can get that many good reports. If you throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick. The staff have always said that it's not so much about accuracy, as it is about the number of reports. Of course, if you report a load of posts about 90 odd percent of them are marked as correct then that's fantastic work. -snip- I cant talk for the others in the top10 but Im almost allways at >90%. 7 are mods so they are at or over 90% as well, which leaves 2 which might "throw shit at the wall". I however doubt that is true. While it is encouraged to make many reports and worry about your hit ratio later, IMHO people learn which reports get accepted and which not. No, there is no direct feedback but you see which threads get moved, which get deleted and which stay. You see the mods work and thus learn what to put where. I still think it would be a good idea to gamify [1] the whole reporting business for the new forum software. Backpack.tf does this very well. You get a % rating and rep points for each correct vote. They are basically makeing the prices for the tf2 market. While they have rules in place to make sure they are not dictating the marketprice, its the place to go and see which item is worth what. Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but thats where I come from. The same principle could be aplied here. Users report a post/thread and the mods have final say. However the mod decision is made public and may or may not include a comment. Top100 reports are publicly visible on a special page, personal stats (good reports, bad reports, history of reports, etc.) are visible via each users profile and can be made public if the user whishes to. Like mail addresses now. I think the direct feedback - even as simple as in-/corrrect would improve the learning curve for reported posts and thus the overall quality of reports. At the same time this would give an incentive to report in the first place. Many people like stats as this thread shows. Why not give them the stats and get the free workforce? [1] I hate that word, but I dont know any other that fits.

(may of changed now) I used to report a lot but, stopped because I felt I may of been annoying the mods by reporting so much. I did approach a moderator and asked them if I should continue to report or is it annoying. the mod who I spoke to said it was fine and is a big help to those that have to deal with the forum problems. I've started back up recently and now have 568 reports with 98%. I honestly don't believe the majority of those who report will have under 90% accuracy. I think people focus on the percentage more than they should though. If you are reporting (with good reason) it's showing your intent to help it doesn't really matter what percentage is correct as there are a lot of posts which could be seen either way, bad or good.

Last time I counted, 3-4 months ago, total reports for the entire forum was ~150 a day. So if a report sits there for more than a day or two it probably won't get handled. Also, there is literally an ignore button, which will remove a report from your queue (mostly used for foreign language board reports), so one moderator might see 1 report pending, another might see 50. Reports are handled pretty quickly everywhere except alt currencies.

Normally we can probably make it out fine, but sometimes people will just report the post without actually even stating why and there's been a few instances where I've been scratching my head as to why it was even reported in the first place.

It's seems a matter of perspective. I've spoken to other staff members privately and they have stated if the report was submitted for a obvious reason, then there's no real need to put anything in the field. although they did say it's easier for them. Really, there's no need to specify where the topic should be moved, if it's posted in the wrong section then that's exactly what we report. I do tend to specify where to move the thread if it's complicated or not easy to identify where it should go, but the majority of the time it's actually easy to identify by the title or even skimming over the post for a few seconds. So my reports are a mixture of both, if they are more complicated I'll specify where to put them. To every thing else, ref spam etc. They are pretty easy and there's no need to go into detail with them. I've gone into a little more detail with duplicate threads etc actually linking to the dupe.

It may be obvious to the person reporting it at the time, but like you said, perspective, as sometimes it's not obvious for the reasons I outlined above. No matter how long you spend reading a reported post if it's been moved to the correct section already and you've reported it as 'wrong forum' it's going to look like a bad report and will likely be marked as so. Simply stating 'wrong forum' is fine and will suffice 9/10, but if you're worried about getting a bad report I'd include the tiny bit of extra information just in case.

Simply stating 'wrong forum' is fine and will suffice 9/10, but if you're worried about getting a bad report I'd include the tiny bit of extra information just in case. I did edit my post to continue further (I have a habit of doing that). I have been caught out a few times for simply stating wrong section but, I'm not really concerned about my percentage, doesn't really affect me much as long as the issue has been dealt with. People are too concerned about the report percentage, but that comes down to bragging rights and ego problems I suppose. It's been stated that each staff member is different and take their own intuitive when it comes to handling reports. So, yes I agree it's better to include more information if you can. But, the majority of the cases don't really need much pointing out, unless you are concerned about losing percentage because it's been moved recently. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on August 28, 2014, 11:00:17 AM Yeah, I saw the edit, and yeah, you're right that percentage doesn't matter that much but people do like to try keep their score up for whatever reason, but for those who are concerned I'd include the little bit of extra info but that of course is entirely down to the individual reporting.

Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: mprep on August 28, 2014, 11:14:10 AM They're unlikely to be 'invalidated' unless the latest report is handled and your previous report didn't contain enough information to still make it relevant (ie merely stating 'wrong forum' etc). My accuracy hasn't budged from 97% for nearly 500 reports now so it seems stuck to me as well. Has anyone else's gone up or down or just stayed the same? Mine's been at 96% for roughly forever, but I only have 69 reports.Should reports specifically list the violation? I tend to stick to obvious spam posts with only "spam" written in the report I don't even bother to type out thanks to autofill. :D Receiving feedback on reports would be really, really useful. Sometimes my reports actually ask whether or not it should be reported, and since I don't know whether or not I'm just wasting mine and mods'/admins' time by reporting, I stick to a really obvious stuff. If you want to know what posts/threads should be reported as per the forum rules, you can take a look at my thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0#post_rules (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0#post_rules) Yeah, I saw the edit, and yeah, you're right that percentage doesn't matter that much but people do like to try keep their score up for whatever reason, but for those who are concerned I'd include the little bit of extra info but that of course is entirely down to the individual reporting.

When you report a post in a thread, but see other bad posts, do you say to look at the other posts, or do you report all of the posts in the thread (for example for multiple undeleted bumps)? The same goes for someone spamming and their post history....do you report one post and make a note in the report that they have a history of spamming, or so you report all of the shit/spam posts? Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on December 08, 2014, 05:12:16 AM Always just report the one post with an explanation to check out the rest.

I must've got some bad ones for my score to have not gone up a percent. It seems I've had 50 bad reports all together so far. Is there any way to monitor which reports you have made which is "bad", I have been pretty steady on ~95%, but have lately got down to 90%, which must mean that the quality of my reports have decreased, only way I can get better is to know where my evaluations was wrong. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousetc on January 15, 2015, 08:40:39 AM Not really. You could ask a global moderator to check which ones were marked as bad though.

I would really appreciate to receive a feedback from mods on why the "bad" post i reported proved to be legit, me too. I really hate wasting Staff and myself time with sending a bad report. So, I would like to understand better. Actually, I found the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) quite useful; however, so far, this moved my reports' accuracy to 75% from 69-70% ONLY. Not really. You could ask a global moderator to check which ones were marked as bad though. +1. I suppose adding a check-box in report module to receive some of the feedback you said can open to abuse from n00bs and add to much workload to mods; but, could be a nice addition if worked out. However, i'll definitely try following the path you pointed out since i think it may really be useful to know where our reports were bads. As an example, it could helps us to better grasp the exact meaning of each forum rule. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on January 15, 2015, 10:17:21 AM @Grand_Voyageur I can only see reports against newbies but I can see that you have had three bad reports recently all for what you have marked as things like 'low value post /1-liners' etc. I'd suggest only reporting posts that are very poor quality and not just for merely writing a sentence or so (one liners can be relevant). Whilst the posts may not have much effort gone into them it's subjective as to what constitutes spam so bare that in mind.
Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: MadZ on January 15, 2015, 10:26:59 AM Honestly, I think it is a waste of time to bother moderators about why your report was marked as incorrect. There is a reason most forums don't have this accuracy feature, at least the ones I've been on in the past. Frankly, I have less bad reports than good reports I could've made but didn't out of fear they might be marked as bad. Obviously, this means moderators have to deal with less incorrect reports (I'm at 99% after 82), but overall, I think it is dangerous to the forum for people to shy away from reporting stuff because they think it might drop their accuracy. I'm pretty sure others have done the same thing, or this thread wouldn't be 9 pages long. I suppose percentage is helpful for anyone below 90% or so to let them know that they don't entirely understand the rules, but it becomes pretty redundant above that level.

Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: hilariousandco on January 15, 2015, 11:20:23 AM Fair enough, I think it is great that the staff are willing to take these requests, I just think it would get tiring if more people sent a PM every time their accuracy dropped. Other staff may mind and I may change mine if I'm getting them several times a day haha, but currently I don't mind answering the requests every now and again. You can always just post asking in here instead and a mod may answer you eventually. I'm not sure when the last time the collective staff accuracy was updated but maybe it is higher now, though some mods may stop reporting posts once they become one.

Edit : Found it is spam according to forum rules posted by mprep. Edit-2 : Is posts like this considered as spam? First, a user asked question(s), then the user found the answers and edited the post telling it is solved. This posts can be made to increase the post counts and also for clearing doubts. So which type[1] is this post considered as? [1] From the line earlier to it. ~~MZ~~ Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: sho_road_warrior on January 15, 2015, 01:46:34 PM I report local language as: should be in "local language" section. I usually can not tell if its spam or not.
If the post only says: "solved" I guess its kinda spammy. If the post is edited to include answers along with the questions its actually anti spam, as it makes redundant answers obsolete.

Too much hassle, and I'd be frustrated over the cases that are not so clear cut. The posts I reported have been simple spam posts without any relation to bitcoin at all, clearly done by bots. There are much fewer posts of that kind nowadays... Onkel Paul Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: newIndia on December 23, 2016, 05:35:18 PM Sorry to awaken the Zombie.

For a long time, my accuracy is stuck at 97%. What can be done about it? Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Lauda on December 23, 2016, 05:37:00 PM For a long time, my accuracy is stuck at 97%.

As long as reports don't get handled, you accuracy will not change from them.There is a certain backlog on reports (especially those that need to be handled by global moderation or above). As Lauda pointed out, keep making good reports, and eventually, your accuracy will increase.

You need a lot of correct reports in order to move up those percentages. Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Lutpin on December 23, 2016, 05:50:37 PM The numbers may be wrong, but you get the general idea. You need a lot to move those percentages up. Something Lauda did not mention is, that accuracy numbers are rounded, which means, you only need to reach 97.5% in order for your accuracy to show 98%.It however also means, you currently could be as low as 96.5%, while still being shown 97%. (theymos changed this a few times, but I'm pretty sure this is the current way things are working) Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: 1Referee on December 23, 2016, 06:26:25 PM For a long time, my accuracy is stuck at 97%.

What if someone has reported a thread as being posted in the wrong section, but a staff member spots it without looking at the reports and move it to the right section himself, will the reports then vanish, or will they remain active even though the thread has been moved to the right section. If the report stays active, and a moderator or other staff member sees that the report shows "wrong section" while it has been reported before the move, then it's obvious that the report will be market as a bad report.

When I make reports like that, they usually look like this "Wrong section -> Section to be moved".If by any chance the thread gets moved before my report gets handled (eg by a mod, or even by the OP), whoever handles this report usually marks it as good anyway, or just doesn't handle it at all. However, most mods don't mark reports bad in those cases (unless it indeed was a bad report). Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: Lauda on December 23, 2016, 07:29:43 PM What if someone has reported a thread as being posted in the wrong section, but a staff member spots it without looking at the reports and move it to the right section himself, will the reports then vanish, or will they remain active even though the thread has been moved to the right section. If the report stays active, and a moderator or other staff member sees that the report shows "wrong section" while it has been reported before the move, then it's obvious that the report will be market as a bad report. Simply illustrated with an example: Let's say we have a thread that is meant for Meta but is currently in the Reputation section. If you report it with :"Wrong section." and someone moves it before the report gets handled, we'd be left with a thread in the appropriate section being reported as "Wrong section.". It would be marked as a bad, because that's what it would be in that case. This is why you should formulate your reports in a better way:When I make reports like that, they usually look like this "Wrong section -> Section to be moved". I used to do "Shouldn't be in X section -> 'Move to Y section' OR 'move to appropriate section'" (depending on whether I'm certain where it belongs).Title: Re: Accuracy down to 98% Post by: 1Referee on December 24, 2016, 09:09:27 AM In some cases I was indeed including very simple text when reporting threads and posts, but I will now include more information where the mods will be informed properly in case of a thread posted in the wrong section for example. Right now I am sitting at 105 reported posts at 100% accuracy. It will be more of course since I will report what I think is wrong, spam, posted in wrong section, etc. In some cases mods do handle quickly, but some times it takes quite some time to get a report handled even though I see other reports are indeed being handled as the threads are either moved or deleted.

It really depends on the 'complexity' of the report. However, if you care about your accuracy and want to be on the safe side, then do so. In some cases mods do handle quickly, but some times it takes quite some time to get a report handled even though I see other reports are indeed being handled as the threads are either moved or deleted. That depends on who you're reporting (user rank), where you're reporting them (which section) and the complexity of the report (e.g. standard bot spam vs. trolling). Reports on newbies should get handled really quickly at almost all times.
