Theymos, would it be possible for you to add a single decimal (make it 98.1% instead of 98%) to allow us to track our accuracy better?

I know seeing the number change 10x more often would motivate me a lot more, and I don't think it would take too long to implement.

Thanks for the consideration.  Smiley

I think it might specifically be inaccurate to stop people chasing admins if they're able to identify a particular report. After all it is just meant to be a long term trend.

It would just kick the can down the road.

Lets do a little caluclation on this. Assuming all your 417 reports are handled (unlikely) and exactly 98% are correct. That leaves us with 408.66 good and 8.34 bad reports or 409 and 8 rounded. In order to reach 99% you need 383 more(!) (792 total) good reports without a single bad one.
In order to reach 98.1 % you need 5 more good reports, for 98.2% 28 more, for 98.3% 54 more.

Which is, for now an improvement, but only for a while. Once you reach 2940 good our of 3000 total reports (assuming 98%, all handled again), you would need 333 good reports for that sweet 98.1% to show up.

Its not that I have a problem with this, but you will run into this problem again.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

The easier way to prevent this problem would be to show something like "X reports [y good, z bad, 0 pending since our mods rock!]".

But as you said the inaccuracy may be intentional.

That makes sense.  Thanks dogie.   Undecided
