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 normally report threads which are created to sell illegal stuff. I had an accuracy of 95% until earlier today, but I think one post which I reported has not been taken into consideration. That's why my accuracy has fallen to 91%. The post which I reported was pure spam, someone created a brand new account to post his facebook campaign report? why? The report should be into the bounty thread which he is participating, right?

If every user reported posts as much as they posted, then we might be able to see a decline in spam. However, the problem is that dealing with the reports takes time. And the fact of the matter is that sometimes, users will stick around despite having their posts reported & deleted multiple times. (Some examples are out there, I don't have them on hand right now) Spammers have gotten a lot more annoying now. Rather than the grand majority posting one-liners, you have a divide of users that create padded and recycled posts and others that will separate their one-liner across multiple lines. This only makes the reports take longer to handle.

I actually went on a reporting spree a few weeks back. In a few days I got up to 900 posts reported with a 98% accuracy! Reporting one liner shit posts in Off Topic and Politics & Society, it was literally like shooting fish in a barrel. Then the next time I logged in and reported posts I made it to over 1k reported and my accuracy % dropped to 88%.
It seems like the last 100ish I reported nothing happened. I've since basically stopped reporting posts in the OT and P&S subs because if the posts are not going to be removed then I am wasting my time and the mods time by reporting it. Perhaps it just isn't time efficient for the mods to trash posts in those subs?
When I see people say "report to mods more" I chuckle a little and think, ya I tried it, not too effective so meh, only in rare cases do I use it now.

They should maybe reward reports in some kind of form which would put some weight off the mods. They can easily moderate recent posts with the most reports. That way they don't even have to look every single report indivudually and just by action all reporters would get either positive or negative reward points.

This has been suggested by Theymos and discussed, here; I think that I'm going to add some badges for people who report a bunch of posts. Maybe one for 300 good reports, one of 1000, and one for 5000. Does anyone want to make or find these images? They have to be exactly 16x16 px (like ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcointalk.org%2FThemes%2Fcustom1%2Fimages%2Fbadges%2Fhacker.png&t=665&c=8jGHcDRIf_ghSg) ), and if you find them online, then they must be copyright-free. There has yet to be any system to reward reports implemented, but it is surely on the cards. There is so much work being done about the forum at the moment, probably why it has not yet been launched.

You're going to want to read Reporter Statistics. For every post you report, 5 more appear. You make it sound as if those 5 wouldn't appear if you wouldn't report that one post. Just to be sure: reporting spam is a good thing ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If every user reported posts as much as they posted, then we might be able to see a decline in spam. I'm closing in on my post count: 6616 posts vs 5400 good reports. Not all reports lead to a deleted posts, but if I count nuked Newbies, I'm pretty sure I've had much more posts deleted than I've added.

I must say reporting irrelevant post to the moderator in helpful in curing the forum from the epidemic spam post. But don't get this twisted when looking out for a spam post don't narrow your search to it being a one liner. There are some mountainous spam post that is as long as the tower of Babel and still doesn't carry any meaningful impact and there are some brief one liner that nailed it purpose.
Always do well to read through the post before you call the attention of the moderator you wouldn't want to reduce your accuracy percentage

Perhaps, those posts are okay and don't violate any terms and conditions of the forum? Maybe according to you they look trashy but it makes actual sense for someone else? I believe, mods are doing their jobs perfectly without being biased. When I see people say "report to mods more" I chuckle a little and think, ya I tried it, not too effective so meh, only in rare cases do I use it now.
Most of the posts that I report are acted on accurately. Nevertheless, as a constructive forum member, it's one's responsibility to report the posts they think are spammy.

I am trying to make reports in sessions that I post and read, rather than on spam boards like Ann and Bounties and economy, which are almost 100% spam boards... I feel more useful when reporting in less spam boards... What about our reporter's badges .?

Wow, this thread is from February and the OP was last online 1st of November. I don't think is so relevant anymore as many changes happened for those 10 months. Anyway I don't really see the need for badges anymore. Spam is heavily reduced and with the last thread from theymos regarding the new upcoming newbie restrictions is more than overwhelming. I'm sure the total post count will drop further more after the next change.
People for sure are reporting more than before. Why bother making badges at all...
Anyway cheers from the Canarian Islands, perfect place to be while the cold winter (not only political) has blocked the whole Europe.

Well it could be good to report threads that are clearly for scamming activities or promoting something that is not related to bitcoin. However, there should be some motivation so that every user must do it. I have seen already some badges that has already been introduce but up to now I did not see that it is already implemented. Besides, reporting to moderator can only be apply when one has been scam or any related activities that is offensive for the user and to the forum. Anything else the user will not report the posts because it will just take their time on doing it and this is how I feel that is why I did not even bother to report any threads that contains malicious and suspicious links and malware.

This is a joke right? I've proposed this largely in this thread, a few weeks ago. Most people preferred not to bother the mods too much. I really don't want to bother the mods too much. But what is the use of a 'Report' link if we'd better not use it, just to avoid bothering the mods?
