It shows only if you have reported the post, is it possible to add an optional feature to show if the post was reported by someone else together with displaying the status of that report? It's not really that important, but I know that some users care about their stats and don't want bad reports. Maybe there could be a counter of some sort, so if the post was reported let's say 5 times by 5 different users, it would be shown. That way, those who are sensitive to seeing bad reports don't have to act on it if they can see that the previous reports have stayed unhandled by the mods.
Unfortunately the extension can't see what other users reported. This basically just prevents me from reporting the same post twice, because sometimes I do a lot of reports and it takes mods some time to get through them, so there is a high chance that I'll come across a previously reported post that's still unhandled. That'd be a waste of time for mods. Even if I could know that someone else reported it, that wouldn't be very useful without knowing why they reported it, and that may raise privacy issues. At any rate that's not possible. I've just thrown together a very basic Tampermonkey script which will refresh your report history automatically every x number of seconds if you have it open in a tab. The tab doesn't need to be in focus. I've set the default refresh time to 20 seconds, but it is easily adjusted if you desire. I'm sure you could incorporate something similar in to the extension itself if you wanted, but this seemed easier.
I was thinking about automatic refresh but that solves only part of the real-time tracking issue. I would also have to implement something to update the post status in tabs that are already open, and there is also the delay - I might have 100 posts queued for reporting - so I would need to track the queue as well. Is it difficult to make this part of the BPIP extension, as yet another optional feature? To say that it would be a great addition it's an understatement.
I was considering it, but to make it really usable I would have to create a whole UI for configuring those report buttons because users can't modify the code of an extension that's installed permanently.

Apparently it's been a while: Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days. Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic. I've made some changes to this extension so it feels like a good time to bump the thread. The main change is a report tracker that shows if you have reported a post and what the status of the report is: Bad reports are shown in red, unhandled in yellow, good in green - I don't have an example because it's quite rare to have an existing post with a good report - and the one-click buttons will not be shown for such posts (but you can still use the regular "Report to moderator" link). The way this works is very primitive. You need to open your report history. The extension collects your reports. Then when you open a thread or a user's post history, it will show the status on posts that have been reported. Obviously this has some limitations, for example the status is not real-time. After you report a few posts and want to see the updated status you would need to refresh the report history again, and reload any threads/post histories. This works reasonably well for my workflow. I typically open the report history first, then open a bunch of tabs with non-overlapping content - e.g. multiple spam megathreads - and all previously reported posts are marked by the extension. New reports will not duplicate because the same post can't be in multiple threads. Then I need to refresh the report history only if I want to start working on a different set of content. This would not work well if you open a number of overlapping tabs (e.g. threads and user post histories). It might be possible to track reports in real time as you click those reporting buttons but it seemed like too much hassle for me. Other changes: - Added link to My Reports in the main menu:
- Added support for Chrome (and possibly Edge).
- Cleaned up and refactored the code. For example the code that creates report buttons moved to create_all_controls function.
- Reduced some of the delays (still fits into the 4 second throttling limit), increased default queue size to 100, and added an exception if the queue is full so you will see the red border on the post immediately if you reach the limit.
The code is now on GitHub, which makes it easier for me to maintain. If you're upgrading from the original version and need to preserve your custom changes, you can create a branch off the first commit (which matches the original version), apply your custom code, and cherry-pick or merge from the main branch. Or if you're averse to git for some reason, you can just pick any bits of code you like any way you like, I won't hold that against you. The usual caveat still applies: this is barely tested code and probably broken in some mysterious ways. Use at your own risk.

Hey, you're undercutting my offer Maybe Ukrainians should offer $1 million for each Russian tank. I think these kids would gladly take that and walk back to Russia on foot.
$100 is too low ball, imagine how much Uber would cost to get home from a war zone.

Yeah there are some signs that refueling and resupply wasn't a big part of the plan because the invasion was supposed to be completed very quickly. Maybe Ukrainians should offer $1 million for each Russian tank. I think these kids would gladly take that and walk back to Russia on foot.

I have been busy on bitcoiner stuff lately…
Nice but... uhm... doesn't it kinda defeat the whole exercise if you post it publicly?

Surely EU cant expect the product if they have no way of paying for it. Or can Russian then demand payment be delivered say in gold bars
Bitcoin. Or USDT more likely. Let Russians have fun trying to extract dollars from Bitfinex.

What I am trying to point out is the possibility of all these nonsense not happening had the US thought about their actions more carefully and didn't continue to provoke Russia.
This ignores decades, centuries of history since before the US even existed. Pretty much immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union and the "block", most newly-independent countries started looking for defense from Russia's aggression, which they felt was inevitable sooner or later. 50+ years - and in some cases 200+ years - of repressive occupation tends to do that to nations. Ironically this probably benefited Russia quite a bit. Instead of subsidizing half of Europe with energy and military resources as it did post WW2, it could now sell oil/gas (including to its former "blockmates"), let NATO take care of their military needs, and cash in on increased trade with the growing new economies. But that apparently "provoked" a senile KGBist - trying to disguise his shaking hands by holding onto a desk - into declaring war on an independent country. This makes no sense to anyone, probably not even to ordinary Russians, but that's what Kremlin's propaganda says and you're helpfully spreading the message.

I would suggest to edit out the link in your post (put in code tags for example). And report the PM to moderators if you haven't done so yet. Edit: the user has been banned so I'm guessing you or someone did report them

Seems to be deleted and unlikely to be true given Turkey's position in the conflict. Just like with Kremlin propaganda, posting clearly biased pro-Ukrainian tweets isn't the best source of news if that's what you're aiming for. It only takes a few minutes to cross check with other sources.

You think Biden is picking this path to help the stock market? Either way, for me, I can't see the stock market being a good reason to let Ukranians be terrorized while we sit around for a month watching.. I think the long-term effects/consequences of this decision is worse than a [likely temporary] dip in the stock market.
I'm quite sure that sanctions are coordinated with allies and possibly big businesses with the supposed goal of minimizing the impact on the economy. The stock market is just a symptom, not the reason. I don't agree with it, but it's been like that forever, not surprising in the least.

This would be a really interesting time for Finland to attack the USSR
This doesn't sound good. If they have a time machine to go back to 1991 and attack the USSR, they may be tempted to stop by 2010 and grab some bitcoins... and dump them upon returning.

I was going to respond to that, but Covid got me so I'm postponing everything now.
Ugh that nasty thing... I hope you feel better soon.

There is a report that Russia is willing to have peace talks with Ukrainian leadership.
Except their condition for talks is "neutrality", by which they mean demilitarization, which is what they're claiming to be doing now. So it doesn't change or stop the invasion. It's just propaganda for Russian people ("look, we're offering to avoid bloodshed if Ukraine gives up").

Russians where forced to retreat in Afghanistan because they couldn't win that war, Poetin will be even more bitter if he loses this campaign and losing face when he needs to do that, that's what i mean with 'hilarious'.
Let's be real, Ukraine is not some far-away mountainous shithole, it's right next door to Russia's European "mainland" with easy access over vast flat land. So Russians can and likely will overpower it with sheer numbers and declare victory as soon as they install a puppet in Kyiv and that is likely the propaganda photo-op they're aiming for in the short-to-medium term. What happens after that is a bit unclear. On batshit-crazy theory I've heard from my Ukrainian colleague is that Putin would have to deport a few million people to Siberia if he wants to break the resistance and hold Ukraine for an extended period of time. But we've seen enough crazy reality over the last couple of days to make it seem less batshit now.

I would suggest to get your head out of Putin's ass, it's unsanitary. He's lying about every bit of this "military operation", including his motives. Provoked little snowflake LOL.

From the latest that i could find, Ukraine reports 160 missile strikes, and 137 casualties. Either Russia is pounding sand, cant hit their targets, or there are a ton of unmanned targets in Ukraine?
Of course they weren't hanging around waiting to be killed. Most missile strikes targeted air force and air defenses, with only a couple hitting civilian targets. But those who died did so in style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z94QWGO3ILo

We aren't even using the full force and capability of the sanctions.. Biden wouldn't answer when asked why he won't sanction Putin today.
I'm guessing it's either some calculation that stronger sanctions would enrage Putin even more and/or options should be left available if the invasion proceeds - but there is no sign that it wouldn't proceed or that Putin is not sufficiently enraged already, so that probably doesn't make sense - or there is some hard lobbying by businesses that have a lot to lose if e.g. SWIFT transfers are closed. Stock market was very bullish today after the announcement, go figure.

The information on what's happening is very spotty. Is it possible that Russia "only" did some airstrikes, but they're not going to send in any ground troops outside of the eastern territories? I heard a rumor that Putin gave Zelenskyy an ultimatum to cede eastern Ukraine within 12 hours or else Putin would continue with a full invasion, but I don't know if this comes from a reliable source.
I don't know what news sources you're following but there are plenty of unlikely-to-be-fake reports showing Russian troops moving outside of the disputed regions, like from Crimea into southern Ukraine, and also in the north-eastern part of the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaJCwY9YBQ0&t=143s

Right, I always smash my neighbor's windows when I feel like defending my house.
They're not your neighbour's windows anymore if you take over their house! *taps head But then you have new neighbors who are looking at you disapprovingly so window smashing must continue until morale improves.
