I've stopped reporting posts

Bad reports are only a guide - it is not a reprimand.  

Exactly. The last thing we need right now is experienced users giving up on reporting, even if your numbers are on the low side. It is much more sustainable to have hundreds of users reporting 5 posts a day than it is for 10 users to be reporting hundreds of posts each. Every little helps.

If every report you make is "good", then it probably means you are only reporting the most obvious of the obvious and are not reporting many posts that you should.

I heard those that report Santa rewards generously :p

I wouldn't be worried about reports being marked bad if I were you. You can always message the moderator that you think dealt with it. It's pretty easy to work out sometimes, and like this instance your report was a genuine bad report.

I still don't know which one was bad. I didn't report the one in the OP. As has been suggested, it's all subjective. I put people on ignore for starting threads with all caps titles, but I don't think that rates as a capital offence here.

You reported something as plagiarism but the person provided the source link so that's probably why it was marked as bad.

I think I've only reported about 100 posts with 97% accuracy, but I see that as 3% failure. If I fail. then I like to know the reason for the failure so that I can improve my performance. I was going to report the thread I mentioned because of the title, and the lack of information in the OP. Normally I wouldn't have opened the thread, but I was in one of my "Lets improve the Internet" moods.

Did I read that it is now possible to view a listing of our post reports. If so, that would solve the problem for me.

you can have a different view. 97% accuracy is a good rate, you were too strict only in 3%. I also think you will have a better picture with 500+ reports.
Few of my reports results in closing big spam megathreads and it was deleted 20+ spam pages. although it counts as one reports am satisfied because I help to remove an attempt to promotion trash service.

There's no need to stop reporting, because of the accuracy. I had also 97% before, even lower around 95%, when I have reported only a few hundred posts, but now I'm improving my accuracy...

Code:

You have reported 763 posts with 99% accuracy (741 good, 10 bad, 12 unhandled).

I have managed to get back to 99%, but I've slowed down and I only report something if I'm 100% sure that it will be a good report. Still, I have to report a few hundred posts more and I can reach the 100% accuracy again (e.g. 10 bad vs. 1001 good, that's only 0,99999999% bad, hopefully 100% good ).
I know that this is not the preferred kind of reporting style, but I'm a kind of perfectionist... if something can be 100%, I have to go for the 100%.
So keep calm and report on

You are correct. The reporting accuracy always rounds up, so 99.00001% will be reported as 100%. Given you have made 10 bad reports, making 991 good would mean 991/1001 were good (99.0001%), and your accuracy would read 100%. Broadly speaking, you can make 1 bad report for every 100 good ones that you make and still maintain 100% accuracy.

[suchmoon]

If accuracy is the goal I reckon almost anyone can reach 100% in an afternoon... there is certainly no lack of absolutely absurd abysmal abhorrent abominable garbage to be reported. I started reporting plagiarism en masse a few months ago and I thought I was gonna start running out of low-hanging fruit within a couple of weeks. So youthfully naïve.

We need to have more reporters (and a corresponding number of moderators to handle the crap) than shitposters if we want to turn the tide. So don't quit JC, at least not until some massive anti-shitposting reform happens, like bump/sort change, and/or tighter merit requirement for signatures, and/or serious crackdown on ban evasion.

C'mon Jet, I was on vacation, lying on the beach, reporting and enjoying life, and you are giving up on something sooooo satisfaing as ruin someone's dirty plans to cheat the system.
Don't give up, just make it a part of your morning coffee/tea ritual and you'll see how beautiful the life can be.

[roycilik]

I have 4 bad reports (I don't care)
when I get Bad report, I will revenge Moderator with massive reports, lol

Don't give up, just make it a part of your morning coffee/tea ritual and you'll see how beautiful the life can be.

when I have free time, I can report more than 30-50 posts in a day
I'm proud of our moderator (dbshck and sapta) they are very responsible
