I feel you. Sometimes you end up with a bad reporting by doing that (that's my experienced). I think it is much easier for moderators to just report them on a single thread rather than tell them to check every post for deletion or nuking, moderators don't have enough time to check every post if it is really needed of deletion. If a moderator can see 200+ of reports in a single thread, they
might need to trash that specific thread, rather than reading them each post.
Also, if a forum member is flooding different boards you can just report them, not all moderators are online on a certain board. So, if you report them, at least one online moderator (different board) can check them and just nuke that user (that's what I have experienced), it is much easier to detect, than in a single board report.
Either way, if every one of us report accurately we don't really need an extra moderator and the forum would be much more clean than it is now.
We do need extra moderators even if we report accurately. Spam has a different approach now than before. Honestly, the altcoin section is no longer that same old
Great project, it has now conversation stuff or pseudo-goodpost like bot talking to each other. If moderators are basing only on what you have reported you will end up having a bad reporting. New batch of moderators are needed, it was already suggested and even hilariousandco is open to that, especially on bitcoin discussion and altcoin board. Beginners and Help is a good starting point on building new moderators, at least they can be a patroller since I can see B&H is no longer the same shit when I first check that board and to be honest some newbies are complaining why their post are being deleted there, it is
not iron hand, it is just what a reporter thinks we read every day. Quality posters are evolving, spammers too.
