[Unofficial Guide] Reporting effectively

[Lafu]

That's just unfortunate that it got marked bad though. Don't let that stop you in similar cases in the future.

Dont worry all good .

The problem i got with myself was i was thinking about 5 min how to do it !

First i thought to report it and it gets moved from a mod but i choosed the the second thought i got and has written in one thread there to move it.
Never was thinking that this will happens straight after i have written there and in the mean time i reported the other one.
And exactly in this time he changed it to english 

So i shooted me self in the feet.

If anyone wants to translate this, and put it in their local section that is fine by me. I know that a few users have contacted via personal messages in the past, and I planned on finding these while I reduced my personal messages by deleting non important ones, but it got tedious real quick so my inbox & outbox is just going to remain like it is. Therefore, if you have translated this in the past send me another message, and I'll list all the translations in the OP as long as they're of good quality, and I'll likely message other local users to verify that for me.

I might work on a Spanish translation if that hasn't already been done. I've totally forgotten those of you who approached me.

Ah, but it has … on a warm summer 2018 day, a (probably) Full Member translated it on the Spanish local board … now if you wish to go ahead with a Spanish translation, I’m pretty sure that the OP (translator) of [Guía] Cómo reportar de manera efectiva would gladly demote his translation in favour of the original OP (somehow) …

Note: the translation seems not to have been reviewed since it was made. If you think it requires to be revised, I’m sure the translator can try to budge some time in for it.

Note2:diolch ... off-topic: You seem to be building-up to the moment when you will emerge in the Spanish local forum. 2020 is as good as any ...

I think I vaguely recall this full member asking me too. What can I say 2018 was a long time ago Its a better Spanish translation that I could have provided, and I would have likely contacted you, and other users of the Spanish section to review it anyway. Saves me some work!


Edit: I definitely recall it now


Anyone want it in Welsh....no?

This guide should be pinned in B&H if you ask me, but until that happens I'm bumping it to the top.
Some newbies are interested to report now during the quarantine, so this guide need more exposure.

Yes i agree on that and it also would be helpful for other Users too,
Maybe its possible it will animate some Users to hit the report to moderator button.

Guess a few new Users just dont know or maybe afraid to click it .

I've been wanting to rewrite the guide ever since I became a moderator with some more information that I've learned from experience. This was written when I wasn't a moderator, and only had one side of the view point. Unfortunately, this year has been kicking my butt, and haven't had as much time as expected. You'll see my activity be somewhat sporadic over the last few months due to various worldwide events as well as personal.

I'm hoping by the end of the year (I know) to have rewritten this guide, and figure out how to make it very useful, but still condensed enough that users don't just ignore it. I'm not happy with the content currently, but I know that I have a tendency to not be concise enough. So that's going to be a challenge for myself. Though, I think the final product will be more worthy to sticky than its current version. Although, I'm not sure how beneficial it would be to most users on Bitcointalk so not sure it even justifies a sticky.

Nice thread @Welsh!
This thread is really need by the forum right now because there are many unnecessary or so called shitpost. So for others to help the community, we should start reporting every spamming activity that we see. However, in order not to abuse the system we should have guidelines in reporting. And this is really helpful to have standards in reporting.

I want to translate this in Filipino local board, may I?

Yeah, I haven't kept track of translations, so I'm unsure if there's already a Filipino translation of this thread, but if there isn't then I have no problem with anyone translating the thread. If you do translate the thread, just send me a link, and I might put together a list of all translations when I come to update the original post, and make sure I message the translation creators for any future updates I make. I've said a few times, but I've got a revision of the thread on the back burner at the moment.

I've had quite a few users since I created this thread either thanking or saying how useful it is, so the more users that are aware of it the better I think,

Actually, this one is already translated in our Local Section.

I’m gonna give this a little bump , as I’ve just come across it !
I’ve been reporting quite a few post’s recently and this guide is VERY useful - I now know the best format to report posts and to make life easier for the mods ! Apologies if my reporting hasn’t been descriptive enough .

[Welsh]

I'll be looking to add a section to this to explain why ignored reports happen, and give specific examples as to why they happen. I think ignored reports brings up controversies, and can be quite difficult to understand, but sometimes leaving a report ignored, is the best way of handling it. I'm sure some users might find that helpful. Any other ideas to flesh out this guide that you'd like to see?

I've also changed the title to "Unofficial Guide", because I don't want this to appear as the officially accepted way of reporting. As all staff might not agree with my advice. This is very much my take on reporting effectively.

No worries, glad you're finding use of it. Its not too big of a deal to have no description in some cases, but for more complex cases it is definitely appreciated. It is definitely good practice to include as much information as possible, since what might be immediately obvious to you, might not be to the moderator reviewing the report.
