**I'm not asking to become moderator and would like to make that clear as possible**

what I am asking is what is the target and what other factors help? I only have a small amount of reported posts but am at 100% so far but just saw a thread which a user had 1300 reports and wasn't even a moderator at the time they are now...so is the target really that high? thats huge I can see other members with below 500 that are moderators too?

Does time logged in affect the decision? what are the most inactive timezones for moderators?

What do you exactly mean with reports? Do you mean posts?
Also the 100% you write about is not really clear to me, but maybe I'm missing something  :)

I've been on the forum for 26 months. I've logged 127 days, 3 hours and 2 minutes online. I have 7919 posts with an activity level of 812.  I've reported more than 80 posts with a 98% accuracy.

I haven't been asked to be a moderator yet, so I suspect that either they already have all the moderators they want, or the target is much higher than that.

Aha, now I understand about the reports.
So what does the percentage mean? Like you report a post as being spam and a moderator confirms it being spam?
Also, does reporting spam (confirmed) add to a persons status? In other words, does this make you a hero faster?

Or if you don't ask, you don't get. :)

I think you need to report posts in the thousands with 90% accuracy to stand a chance to be a moderator

Correct.

So, apparently 2 of the 88 posts that I reported were determined by the moderator to be incorrectly reported.


No.

It just helps keep the forum a cleaner and easier to use place.

Thanks for the reply.

I think it should be fair to raise your status faster if you report (confirmed) posts because you contribute in a positive way to the comunity.
But maybe it provides moderators more work because spammers report their own posts (from other account) to raise their status faster.
Ok, conclusion, bad idea.

most moderators are from europe and usa.

I'm in Australia and am a moderator. I've personally reported >1400 posts with 99% accuracy.

There is no fixed number or target amount nor does a high accuracy matter that much. I think theymos and other mods have stated 70% accuracy is still considered very good. Most other mods probably only reported a few hundred before they got asked to be a mod. Whilst there is no fixed target of posts or accuracy obviously the higher the better, but it's probably more about just being active in both reporting and contributing more than anything.

I am Turkish board moderator (since December 2013) and patroller. I'm online for more than 8 hours everyday.

I have reported 821 posts with 98% accuracy.
Total Time Spent Online: 90 days.
Total Posts: 1800 posts

I do not think there is fixed critirea, may be when Theymos think he need another moderator or staff to clean the forum then he promote one of the top reported member.

I reported 658 and my accuracy is 92%.

It will be better if Badbear or Theymos post again reports stats who leading now.

There are some discussion on whether we have enough moderators https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756852.0), and BadBear finds some mods not active enough.
So it should be the latter case.

Activity: 532

You have reported 322 posts with 91% accuracy
Total time logged in: 270 days, 5 minutes.

No invite QQ, and yes I actively want to be a mod.

I don't know why anyone would want to be a moderator. It's a horrible thankless* job where you get bitched at constantly for doing the right thing, harassed by trolls when you try to rein them in, people judging you constantly who don't even have the information they need to make a proper judgement, and giving them said information would compromise someone's privacy. Privacy wins, so you have to shut up and be perceived as the bad guy. 

*Not entirely thankless anymore, theymos does help us out with the mod payments, though TBH that's not really enough sometimes.

Didn't say I *wanted* to be a mod, just that I hadn't been asked.

If I were asked, I'd have to think about it a bit and I'd probably have a few questions before I would decide whether or not I'd want to take on the responsibility.

How do say no when the dev of cgminer wants to be a mod?

By the way I am glad that you are.  You are extremely active in your sections and help keep things cleaned up so here is a THANK YOU!!

1 reported post and 100% accuracy. What happens when I report someone's post and its considered a succesful report, do they get banned for a couple days? I would hate that

No it takes much more than 1 post to get banned.  They would have to perpetual offenders.

But what is the accuracy, basically if it is successful a report has been added to their account?

As above, unlikely to get banned for one post but depends on the rest of their posts if a mod checks them and finds similar or persistent behaviour. If someone gets banned though it's usually for a good reason so you shouldn't hesitate in reporting offending posts.


No, that's the accuracy of your report and effects your score not theirs.

Thanks, and you're welcome  ;D

If you don't mind, can you tell me when did you became a mod(reported posts)? I know the accuracy must be atleast above 60%. I don't like to be a mod(I don't think I will be ;D ), it's a hard job. Need sharp eyes... :)

  ~~MZ~~

In July some time. You need to report a lot of posts and 60% is considered good I think. My accuracy was/still is 97% but it's more about the number of reports than your overall score.

Thank you Badbear! We appreciate your work around here.  :)
