There are a lot of posts, which are not useful or wrong information or one words post. These type posts are spam and they are increasing the no. of post only nothing valuable addition.
For this, There is an option in every post "report to the moderator", So we should report to moderator, that will help in reducing the spam post. So this is my humble request to all member that report to the moderator if you find spam post.
In my opinion, if we give some rewards to the member, who do such work, then it will encourage the member to do. By this way, we can reduce the existing spam post and discourage the spam writer in future.

... and then the abusers start working with two type of bots instead of one , one for spamming the other for reporting, perfectly working system, ico bumping, developing accounts for sale and getting rewards for reporting at the same time. The best reward can be the report rate listed under merit score.

Seeing the negative trust, well, i don't see what is the relation between the two things.

I wouldn't be against some perks for those that report a lot. I think it would be beneficial because reporting is an utterly thankless task even though it helps out the forum a lot (and the chances of becoming a mod by merely a huge volume of reports happens less these days). It's quite sad to see spam threads or threads being in the wrong section for days even after pages of replies and not a single person has reported it (time is money I guess and people would rather post than report). Maybe an additional rank could be achieved after so many reports or maybe even a prize for those that report the most. I'm sure some nice perks could be thought up/given to encourage users to keep on reporting.

If 2% of the forum users / lets say with a bit higher rank / check the Patrol page /btw it could be good if it can be enabled by default when you reach member rank/ for 5 min once a day, things will be much different but.. I do share some time every time I log in just to report some easy to spot shitposter, sometimes I dig a little more and find much more shocking and abusive things, but hey that's me, I'm not after rewards for this, just hoping to make this place better, because I like it, I like the people here too.. Sorry got carried away... ... and then the abusers start working with two type of bots instead of one , one for spamming the other for reporting, perfectly working system, ico bumping, developing accounts for sale and getting rewards for reporting.

Now this is an interesting suggestion. It might be a good feature. I was thinking about this before, you can have a different type of measure of your profile together with the trust and merit,but it can be only informative so no negative impacts on the profile, or maybe a additional rank based on it like the copper member now. Of course you can play with it a lot more, like put a different "weight" on the reports like reporting just a "naic proekt sir" have one but reporting homograph attack or copy/pasting have bigger weight. I guess it is just time consuming and I don't think that will have so big impact on the global reporting side, but for sure will make some people to chase the scores just for the sport ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I'm not reporting for a prize, I just really hate spam.

What would happen if the spam moved from the various boards to the moderators' queues? Already there are many reports which have not been handled.....

I've said this before, but I find reporting and seeing them get dealt with quite therapeutic. That's my reward, but I guess I'm weird like that. What would happen if the spam moved from the various boards to the moderators' queues? Already there are many reports which have not been handled.....
It would either get theymos' attention due to reports not being handled, and the more not getting handled signals the more in need of a moderator for that particular section/permission group or it would allow existing moderators to deal with them when they have time. I'm not sure what sections you are reporting in, but most of my reports are dealt with within a few hours. I've had some take a few days but, they do get dealt with.

The list of top 50 reporters also mentions the number of unhandled posts. This may not be due to paucity of moderators, but it will definitely increase if people are given incentives to start reporting posts.

True, but AFAIK that doesn't mean they aren't being looked at. It might just mean that the moderator was unable to determine whether the report was good or bad and left it. I imagine quite a few people aren't being very descriptive on why they are reporting a post. I'm also going to go out on a whim here, and assume that posts which have been reported, but the thread is removed will be seen as unhandled. I might be wrong here.

Rewarding the report maybe (with merit) is very dangerous, knowing the nature of the human race some people could create 50 fake accounts to spam and report with the main account to "abuse".

Besides the abuse; This isn't what merit should be given for. Merit is for good quality posts, and shouldn't be rewarded for any other reason other than that. Personally, I don't think there needs to be a reward, and that shows in the stats. People are reporting (some in large quantities) and will continue to do so for a better forum.

That's wrong. When a posts/thread gets deleted, all reports of the post are marked as good. True, but AFAIK that doesn't mean they aren't being looked at. It might just mean that the moderator was unable to determine whether the report was good or bad and left it.
Unhandled can also be used when a moderator doesn't choose to act on a report, but doesn't want to influence the accuracy of the reporter in any way. Since unhandled reports are ignored for accuracy calculations, they could be seen as "dismissed". I think it would be beneficial because reporting is an utterly thankless task

I had a feeling this was the case, but just couldn't find any information on it when I searched it up. It's good to know though. I'm guessing that this would apply to nuked accounts too? Also, banned accounts without the users posts being deleted would likely be handled manually as the posts still exist if the above is true.

It's been suggested many times, and it's not a bad idea in principle, but in practice it would create a perverse incentive where people would want more reportable posts so that they could get more rewards. Almost certainly, some people would start spamming on alts just so that they could report the spam on another account and get rewarded. There are a few things that could be done to impede this sort of behavior, but on the whole it'd be too difficult to detect abuse and not worthwhile. So there will almost certainly never be any real reward for reporting, though some purely cosmetic things are not impossible.

Who's going to pay you, MOD? How much do you pay Mods for using this forum? Did MOD generate income from bitcointalk users? if you want to report spammers go ahead you're welcome, but don't ask for payment.
