I believe most of senior members doing that. So this topic is dedicated to motivate newbies. As title says, do you use "report to moderator" button during posting? Especially for main thread. Lately I am active on multiple borad and noticed that lot of post made on wrong board although post isn't bad. Most likely OP not sure where he/she have to make post. So in that case you can help them by report to moderators. So moderators will move the thread on appropriate sections. I like to encourage everyone to use this because you can help for right and useful discussion instead of just make generic reply on this kind of post. More thing is, you can report also spam or off-topic post/reply. So moderators will delete that kind of spam post. I have noticed lot of spam post during my posting and I am reporting as well because moderators alone couldn't make a decent forum. We can keep our role to help them. If you don't know how should handle report then I would like to suggest below thread. It will help you to understand full details, [Guide] Reporting effectively Hope you will keep your role to build a decent forum.

Also you can send a PM to OP asking him to move his thread to the appropriate board, so he doen't start complaining as to why his thread was moved. If he doesn't respond respond to your request, you can then report it to a moderator.

I usually rather inform the OP, too instead of reporting a specific thread to a moderator. If a moderator would move a topic without notifying the OP I am sure a lot of people would think that their topic was deleted and get demotivated.

What I do most times is to tell the creator of such post to look down and he will fine the right section to make his/her post in other to get the right response, because once a post is place on a wrong section it might never get the right replys and there by not giving the poster the right answer that can solve the problem.

I always wonder where to put topics about privacy or general blockchain topics since it might not fit in Bitcoin or altcoin

I am agree with you if you have enough time. Although not sure OP will respond or not but it's not bad idea. But for me I use report button due to lack of time and perhaps I will forgot about it later on. That's why I feel that report would be short solution. If I send PM then I have to wait for respons from OP. Everyone can found his/her post on his/her post history even its moved. So I don't think this is big issue.

I'd rarely report some post on the wrong section since the post I saw are not too bad so I will make post constructively trying to help and discuss about OP problem, and also tell the OP to post on the right section while adding the unofficial guidelines of Bitcointalk link on my comment to inform the OP for further reference. My concern is some member just posting a generic reply to tell OP to move the thread without any further 'education' about the forum. I know that there is nothing wrong about it, but why they didn't just press the report button or PM OP.

The problem with mass reporting comes in with the spamming of reports to the moderators. I use the options very selectively, not to waste the moderators time with useless reporting. I will report off-topic posts that are done by people to spam their signature, because it makes the whole forum experience bad for everyone if they just post non-constructive drivel in people's threads. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I also report plagiarism after I warned the OP of that thread to quote the source and he/she ignores my warning. It makes moderating much easier, but it can complicate moderation, if people abuse this feature. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

I seldom use the report button. Ideally, I would just make a comment on the topic and also inform the OP to move his/her topic to the right section. I also report plagiarism after I warned the OP of that thread to quote the source and he/she ignores my warning. How has this work for you? There's no need to ward plagiarists I think.

I also had the same habit in the past but now I tend to report it to the mod directly. I think we've been very lenient about this and on top of that, this no-plagiarism rule is posted on top of the board (sticky thread) so if they don't even bother to read it, I believe they don't really have the right to enjoy the forum. But some OP can change too, however, the number is too small. It's inefficient for me.

I don't use the report button for every situation. At first I normally comment on the thread informing the OP to move the thread to the right board and if the thread creator is a newbie I give directions on how to do so and when it's a less important thread and also if i was the first user to reply to the thread I suggest this to OP [Untick the box for less important moved topics] and after sometime if i check the thread and it has been moved I delete my reply (that's if I didn't contribute to the thread in question but when I do contribute, I edit my thread to remove my moving suggestion] although there are some post I don't hesitate to report to moderators to be moved the moment I see them especially those coming from the new sockpuppets. {I have reported many to be moved to reputation board and they have all been marked as good report].

Not at all for I do not really see this helpful after using the report button for all we know that admin can never attend to this thousands of report that will take each day from different users.
However i do believe that this is very useful in the future where one could actually notice that his post was being reported and in that sense one could change the way he posts on this forum. There will be a notification that sends the user of the the said reported post that will also serve as warning to not do it again or else it wil results to account suspension or banning and this is how I see report button in the future.

I do it when someone is already posted this kind of topic and then he/she posted it again. Also, I report it when it doesn't fit in the section that he/she posted at. We must post a thread that should fit in the section.

The admin raised the need for reporter badges in June of 2018, nearly one year ago, here: Seeking reporter badge images. By now, there is insignificant progress but who knows, you can keep contributing to the forum via your report buttons, and then someday if theymos actually release reporter badges, you might have yours due to all your good reports over time. I don't see theymos and community have interests in adding financial priveledges with such new bages, but reporter badges (if occur) should only be considered as a kind of honorable badge.

I think the biggest issue is that we are far too forgiving on serial spammers. I have had 50+ posts of some users deleted in the space of a day or two, and yet still they are back the very next day spamming more. There is a never-ending supply of spammers, and simply reporting their spam posts for deletion will never be enough. Although all our reporting helps to tidy things up in the short-term, we won't see any meaningful long-term improvements until we see some top down changes from the admins, namely frequent bans for bounty spammers and dedicated sub-board mods with the power to enforce this.

I always use the said button religiously, especially on cases wherein the thread is improperly posted on a board where the OP doesn't fit with the general rhythm of the said sub-forum. I still continue to give out my opinion and after submitting my reply, I always make sure that I will report the said post in order for it to get transferred over to the correct board where it will get the much needed attention for a particular topic. As for spams though, it's automatically reported by me whenever I have free time, and I'm currently standing @ 96% successful reports (not that it's important or anything.)

Nice little reminder for all forum members - established AND newbie ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Perhaps this should be bumped every couple of months - 1. To remind all members to use this report to mod function whenever they see an off topic, spam or nonsense post. 2. To introduce newbies that these type of posts WILL get reported so don’t waste your time and energy. Thanks OP

Well, I can say that it was effective lol. Honestly, I very seldom reporting sh*tty posts these past couple of months maybe because of being busy. But this thread reminded me to be more active on reporting once again hehe. I don't know if you feel this as well but I really feel good every time I report and maintaining a 100% accuracy at the same time. For me it represents that I've got a fair judgement as a person ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

It is difficult to maintain the rate of correct report at 100% but you can. Why I say it is the same as posting? If you think twice before you make a post that your post is necessary for the discusion (or in the other words, has it been answered by others), and apply it when you report a post. Think twice that whether your report reason is good, then you will have prob to see your rate staying at 100%.
