REPORT for MERIT. Save your nice Report records, here!

[friends1980]

edit: I might offer a modest amount of Merit to lower ranked members who can present an impressive amount of reports and/or anti-spam efforts.

While we are anticipating a (possible) Reporting/Spambusting profile medal, I figured, let's give the members of this community a possibility of showing off with how much they've been reporting already - by analogy with tbct_mt2's "Save your nice Merit records" thread, of course.

I know it's a long shot compared to many mods and Spambusters on this forum, but I'm actually more proud of this record, than any Merit record I've had in the past. At least, it gives me an incentive to do something back for the forum (and to be totally honest, I simply hate spammers, so I'm also doing it for myself).

So I reached a nice number of reports, about 40 minutes ago exactly on this forum's 10th Anniversary. That's just brilliant!

Today at 14:25:38:

You have reported 2500 posts with 99% accuracy (2425 good, 27 bad, 48 unhandled).

Sorry, I only made a stupid copypaste instead of a screenshot. I didn't really think it over.

So guys, keep reporting, and post your nice records in here!

A similar thread exist here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5058163.0.

I'd prefer to use that thread and bump it instead of creating a new one.

I had no idea that thread existed. Since I am the first one on these boards to complain when people are opening several threads for the same topic, I've changed the purpose of my OP. Mea culpa!

Thx for letting me know!

And keep reporting!

This has turned into a merit giveaway. Don't you think it is better to move to boards where we usually see those topics like beginners and help or reputation? I have only reported 189 posts so far with 99% accuracy (186 good, 2 bad, 1 unhandled). That's too little compared to most active reporters here.

No but looking at your history, it looks like you've shown an awful lot of effort for our community already.

As you've read above, I'm a daily visitor of this forum but never noticed the existence of an other similar thread. I wouldn't have started the thread if I had.

However, on one hand, the spam on these boards drives me (and many others) crazy and on the other hand, I feel it's quite difficult to reward lower ranked members. That's why I've changed the purpose before eventually maybe archiving the thread.

Looks like you're the first one who has proven that my thread has become useful anyway. Keep reporting mate and come back to this thread when your reporting ratings have increased.

This kind of merit give-away or competition has been talked about before, and I agree it would be a nice way to give out merit since reporting is a largely thankless task and the proposed reporter badges seem to be on indefinite hiatus, but it can't be done because it is absolutely trivial to submit false screenshots using your browser's in-built developer tools as such:

Yup, I PM'd about this a few hours ago with an other member to find out if reporting stats are publicly available, but it seems they're not... I'll have to trust them blindly.

As a token of gratitude for your reply, I've just rewarded you 1 gazillion Merit though. Thx!

NB: We really should find a way of thanking reporters - and rewarding more lowranks...
