We should use "Report to moderator" more often

[bartolomeo]

I just wondered how often do you guys report a post or new thread to moderator. I am talking about the button "Report to moderator" which is at the bottom right corner of every post.

I reported 18 posts, mostly spam, with 100% accuracy. I think we should use this more often (I don't know the statistics, but considering how many useless off-topic three-word-posts I run across, people don't report enough) to make forum cleaner and easier to find useful information and useful questions and answers. When account farmers would see that their one-liner posts are getting deleted, this would also discourage them from spamming and burst posting.

i know that you want to make this forum clean but maybe moderator need to message them why they have deleted post.
like you said we can report some one liner post of the member to the mod but i guess mod should also inform them why their post is being deleted so that they know the reason why they experience that.

We need to educated them for their mistake so that they will encourage to post more constructive comments rather than post useless comments all over again

I agree with what you are saying and no doubt this will surely clean the forum with spammers.. We cannot avoid those person because they double their effort in farming accounts for them to gain more profits by selling or scamming but we also need to be sure that the one we are reporting are real spammers because sometimes those people who are innocent are the one who is being reported so we should consider first in reviewing their acc and their past post if they are really worth to be reported..

What are you saying? You sound like someone who haven't used the report to moderator button before. If you click on the button you'll see something like this

You have reported ** posts with **% accuracy (** good, ** bad, **unhandled).

The ** was use to replace actually numbers in the quote above. That means for each post you report and they're seen as good posts,  it won't be deleted and I'll reflect on your report page as a bad report. So it does no harm to the OP.  In conclusion reporting an innocent people (as you said) , it does no harm to them.  And if their posts was a quality one, it won't be deleted instead you'll be the one having bad report record.

I report the posts that I think break the rules of the forum. Then it's up to the moderators to deal with, I doubt they take any action without to verify themselves lol and never or rarely an innocent is banned for nothing. I  also rarely check the previous user's posts as I don't need, I am reporting a post, not a member.
I make use of the report button and have periods I report more or less depending if I am   I do have some bad reports but I don't care, as I said, I report...then it's not my business

I used to report scammers topics and my accuracy is pretty bad, simply because scams are not moderated, they are on topic based on the board rules, and the funny part is, my comments on their threads " provided they are unlocked- not self-moderated" get deleted after the scammers report them to the mods.
