Request an option to cancel a report.

[tranthidung]

If I have reported 20 posts and one of them I see I've reported it twice, it would be nice to have an option to cancel this report.

I do accidentally report posts from time to time.

I imagine about this situation and I feel we don't need a Cancel button.

What we need is a pop-up message or a highlighted phrases - Red (like we have when try to reply in threads that have last posts made more than 120 days ago) to warn that we already report that post.

"You already report this post. Please don't not report it twice. Thank you!"

With it, we won't report one post more than one time and won't have to re-check our report history, then cancel double-reports. If there is solution, it should be appear at the beginning of report process.

I think you should still have the option to report the post even if you have reported it before, and there's currently a open report. I remember a few times that I've reported in the past, I had come across new information which provided a better explanation to why I was reporting. Although, I'll admit this isn't something which props up often, I think a non obstructive notification should appear if you've already reported it, but you should be able to ignore that if you wish.

Normally, when i report i often use the script from suchmoon and it helps a lot to control what you report but some on cases when the i don't have the script around me, i start opening tabs (often spam is packes in grops of 5 or more on a page, sometimes the whole psge is full of it) but sometimes instead of spam you have non-English posts, you have to remember exactly which tab is the different one, or just send the repor at once. Most of my bad reports are exactly because of thst...

This saves the time of the mods to go trough and spears you a "bad report" ( no, i don't care so much about the bad reports).
It can be even with a cool down time of like 30 sec., It's enough if you make a mistake to correct it.

I guess it is better to have a "Show pending reports" webpage under the "Show recent posts" and etc, in which it would contain all reports that is not yet had any attention nor given an action by a moderator or an administrator. Then a feature in it that those pending can still either be deleted and/or edited by the user.

I think it would be better as it is a simple feature yet would help those active reporters to somehow have a fault management due to unexpected actions that can be caused by whatever the reason a user has (most commonly drunk )

I mean, it is a good idea, in theory, and the code for implementing this should be relatively easy. Now question is, how demanding is this whole option?

All this could be just directly implemented in the new forum, which is still into the wilderness/hibernation mode. Its a little too baffling that the product has still not been delivered, its been what, 6 years? And millions has been spent only for it to be delayed for so long years?

Small issues like this will keep pilling up, cause apparently SMF is very hard to customize and work with, so yeah there is that.

I understand your points. With my suggested pop-up message, users will be still allowable to make double-reports. The message plays its role to remind they already report that post and if they don't have additional reference (of broken-rules, ie.) to report on the same post, they should not make double-report. It's my point when I thought of the message.

The idea of the popup is good. In fact, I've seen that on another forum which basically prohibits the user from reporting the same post again while allowing reports from others.

It is not good if completely prohibit re-report on the same post.

After reporting one post for the first time, there should be chances for us to find more details of that case and we need to re-report it with more details/ references.

As of now, the forum does not give us option to edit our reports and automatically resend/ reallocate re-edit reports to the same moderators who previously receive our first report on the same post.

Due to this, allow re-report a same post (by a same reporter) is good but it need support tool like a pop-up message.

Once you have made 300 good reports, the page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reportlist;mine shows a list of your last month worth of reports, including whether they have been marked good, bad, or remain unhandled. You could implement a system to be able to edit the unhandled reports. The issue with this is that if I report something with a borderline reason, mods view it but leave it unhandled, and I then edit it, it would need to move back to the top of the mod queue or risk not being seen.

It also doesn't solve the problem of accidental duplicate reports. The majority of my bad reports are because I've reported the same post twice without meaning to. When you spend time actively reporting, you read so much spammy nonsense that it all blends in to one and you can easily forget which exact permutations of "bitcoin is going to fly to the moon" you've read and reported before. This is especially true if it takes a few days for my reports to be dealt with, and the same spam posts are hanging around for a few days. A pop up or other notification would be preferable, I think.
