Edit: The second I said this, nearly all of my reported posts were handled, I guess mods needed a push in the right direction
No, if you report newbie posts it'll be handled faster. Because there are a lot of Patrollers but not enough active Global moderators, you have to wait either dedicated board moderator or grue/hilariousandco to handle the report. On the other hand your reports could be marked as bad, so you don't see any action for them.
I'm active 7/16 in this forum. I usually have 0 reports in my queue. Other Patrollers are very active, too.
