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.
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 .
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.
