Reporter Statistics

[actmyname]

This might be worth looking at as 4 seconds when reporting certain types of spam can be annoying for the reporter, and deter them from reporting. I know there's tools out there such as Suchmoon's where you can add reports to queues, but having it natively within the forum so there's not such a wait. I think anyone over 5000+ good reports should be only limited to a 1 second cool down. Then, that will likely prevent too many errors/requests, and still not interrupt with reporting.

Script is not optimized but this is an excerpt of my logs when using it:

Ideally I would keep it on a queue with a dynamic index refreshing about once per half second and loop through the unsubmitted reports.

It is definitely annoying when I have to post something and need to either wait for the queue to finish submitting or for the window where I can sneak a post in before I submit a new report. Sometimes, I'll have blocks of several scores of minutes before I can finally actively do anything on the forum. Oh, and:

Code:

You have reported 39341 posts with 98% accuracy (36306 good, 921 bad, 2114 unhandled).

[examplens]

My stats are You have reported 1746 posts with 100% accuracy (1726 good, 6 bad, 14 unhandled)
I guess that is solid score 6 bad on 1700+ reported but I am curious. I report post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5199528.msg53014102#msg53014102 He has been deleted, but it is still marked as a bad report in my statistics.
Does that mean that maybe user deletes his post before moderator check report, or what?

Maybe you've reported the same post twice. Or your report was bad, but the entire topic was deleted so the post is gone anyway.

This doesn't necessarily apply to your question, but I am under the impression that if one mistakenly reports a post twice (as I have done when working down a succession of spam posts) then the duplicate report will be marked as bad.
So maybe, if your report is processed after the post has been deleted, either by the OP or another mod, the report gets marked as bad?
Doesn't sound likely but idk.


I'm nearly at 4k good reports in 5 years, but I avoid low hanging fruit.

Your impression is absolutely correct. I have had this happen to me a ton of times when I visit the same page of a spammer's post history and accidentally hit the report button.

I'm nearly at 4k good reports in 5 years, but I avoid low hanging fruit.

Handling complex cases is important and significantly more valuable than handling spam posts. I, for sure, have dedicated less effort than someone who solely seeks out the former case.

Code:

You have reported 43303 posts with 98% accuracy (38893 good, 981 bad, 3429 unhandled)

We need both sides of it, really. I'll take the grunt work

you are right, that is it. I reported the same post twice. It's in a very spammy topic with lot of Newbie spam posts, they look like they are repeating.
I also reported three more posts from the same user.

Don't worry about it! I've handled a few of your reports over time, and they are almost always accurate. The moderators appreciate anyone, and everyone who reports! Hilariousandco has been quite vocal on how thankless of a job it is, but I have messaged a few users in the past thanking them, and you were on of those on my list

No-one likes anything to be marked "bad", but surely "unhandled" (as the duplicate report is literally unhandleable) would be more appropriate in those circumstances?

Rock on  

[LoyceV]

Unhandled means other Mods will look at it too. By marking it either "good" or "bad", it's done.

But the most times it will stay as unhandled , maybe its forgotten at some time or something else !

Havnt seen that the unhandled reports get less.

But as long that the Good reports more as the unhandled all is fine !

I used to have the mentality that unhandled meant it was missed or there was no mod available to handle it. However, the reality is that the report may have been seen by staff several times, and multiple times. Sometimes a report can be a little difficult to decide what's the best course of action which means sometimes leaving it at unhandled is the better option. Sometimes with difficult reports I leave them, and if no other moderator has picked it up I'll come, and take a look at it with a fresh mind a few days later.

Don't worry, most reports are seen by at least one moderator, and they stay unhandled for multiple reasons. In my earlier days of moderating I used to think "try not to leave any reports unhandled", but I've learned that leaving a report unhandled is actually the best way of handling certain reports.

I am not worry about it and thanks for the short explain.
There are a few times also unhandled marked reports and the reported thread or post got deleted and guess its just forgotten to mark it good.
We are at least all Humans.

[Welsh]

If you have reported a post, and the post has been deleted the report usually gets handled automatically so there shouldn't be any issues on that front, and without knowing the exact situation I can't really give you an explanation to why that has happened, sorry.

[Lafu]

Thought maybe its time for update some Statistics !
The last one is month ago.

Code:

You have reported 17846 posts with 100% accuracy (17748 good, 35 bad, 63 unhandled). 

[mole0815]

Your statistics are always incredibly impressive Lafu. Knocks me off my feet every time.
I have 178 „unhandled" which won't get less but as long as the "good" reports rise everything is fine

What is actually the largest known number of reports that a user has here on BCT?

I don't know if it's real or manipulated  but i got this on a PM from one user :

I believe there's users with even higher statistics than this. It would be interesting to see the latest reporting statistics from theymos, but considering the demand for additional moderators right now isn't needed I don't think we will see this any time soon.

Luckily I don't need to report much these days as I can deal with most users as the recent merit changes means that not a lot of spammers rank up, and because I'm a patroller I get to deal with most users that I come across these days.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Very low amount by me, sorry for being so lame guys.

Code:

 You have reported 1849 posts with 99% accuracy (1792 good, 21 bad, 36 unhandled).

If the picture is authentic, you have to wonder how much the person was padding their reports. For example by reporting every offending post vs adding a note to review other posts in a thread or post history.

For context, 47k reports works out to a little more than 1 report per hour, every hour for 5 years. That’s a lot.

Probably a major autist, more than 1 report per hour over 5 years is insane.
