Has the accuracy counter for reports stopped working?

[alani123]

My accuracy is stuck for about a month although my reports keep going up. Is there a known issue about that?

I have reported 137 posts to date and have an 89% accuracy rating. I believe I was at 88% not too long ago, therefore I would conclude that it is still be calculated.

I believe that the mods do have the option to neither increase nor decrease your accuracy ratings (essentially exclude the report from your calculation) however I am not 100% sure how this works.

If you have made a lot of reports already, it is very often to see your accuracy getting "stuck" as you will need to make many more good reports to have it increase 1%.

I thought mine was stuck at 89%, then it went to 90%, and dropped back down.

Math. The more reports you have overall, the larger the spread between percentage points. If reports were rounded off to 100ths, like 96.57% you would see it going up more often. Also could be getting some bad reports occasionally, probably won't be enough to drop your percentage visibly at this point so you wouldn't know.  

Also, when you report something, it will immediately be added to your number of reports, however it won't factor into your percentage until dealt with by a moderator, and never will if the report remains in limbo (it happens).    

I'm not talking about the number of reports being stuck but the percentage.

So maybe is it an error? I'm stuck at   : You have reported 79 posts with 74% accuracy   

I doubt it. As BadBear said percentages move quickly when you have few reports and barely noticable when you have >1000 reports. IIRC hilariousandco is at >1900 reports probably more now.

Lets assume 97.0000% of these are correct, thats 1843 correct and 57 not. In order to reach 97.5% (I assume thats when 98% will be shown) he would have to make 2223 total correct reports vs 57 bad. Thats 380 good reports without fail.

For 79 posts with ~74.6835% assumed accuracy (59 good, 20 bad) you only need 1 good report (60/(60+20) = 75%)

Accuracy is always rounded down IIRC, so it'll take even longer.

People shouldn't worry about accuracy much, and certainly not single percentage points.

Conslusion: If you have reported >500 you won't notice that much so it appears it's stuck.

Same happened with me, I was also thinking same that it's stuck. But suddenly it's changed 93% to 94%.

I did reported more then 1k reports so it's really hard to increase percentage after reported more then 500.

How many reports have you made now and what percentage?

1065 with 94% accuracy.

Alright, I see now. Thanks everyone.
