Posting/reporting limits

[skarais]

If I were to build a bot to report posts, 4 seconds would be well below how quickly a bot could identify spam posts.

Wow, that would be a breakthrough to put spammer out of works faster. But will it be very effective in assessing every reported post ? (if you did create the bot).
I firmly believe that you need a break from your current manual reporting activity. It looks like 4 second will give you a little chance to sigh. But you have such a strong interest in doing it that 4 second will be something long to wait. :v

Not really

Just queue things up while you're not prepared to post. If anything, you can always sneak a post in while your reports are being sent - it'll only pause one - and continue in the list.

I used to do it this way, and I believe I had a 2 second timer? I still hit that fairly regular. I can't imagine what its like reporting with 4+ seconds. Probably why we don't see a wide range of users reporting, and only a select few. At least regularly anyway.

Until theymos repeals the limit at some point and hopefully add some more moderators to the team - plenty of threads that need to be trashed - you'll just have to do a roundabout solution.

I don't think this is high on the list of priorities.

I was using multiple tabs to report posts.

I've ran into the limit so many times. I now report in one tab, wait for it to finish loading the page, close the tab, and only then report the next tab. This makes reporting 50 posts quite slow, so I don't often report that many at once anymore.

There was one person (presumably) making the same 3 posts with several dozen accounts that I found via the patrol. This was presumably some kind of spambot, so time is of the essence to get these posts removed before search engines can index the posts. I could create a tool that queues my reports, but that is besides the point. These posts need to be removed quickly, and I believe I have reported enough posts, and have contributed enough (look at my merit) to have a lower wait time.

But like other said, 4 seconds is very little duration. And concern is if you are trying to catch up with it means you are trying to keep your hands busy like a robot. Wanting to continue with this pace with your human hands - may end up breaking your keyboard :-D

I had identified many posts that had the same problem. I kept the report message in my clipboard and pasted the message in each report as a way to quickly report the posts.

I am not concerned about my ability to make many posts quickly. I ~always spend much more than 4 seconds on each post I write.

Me too, but I don't expect it to happen. I've felt the 4 second limit for years

Whitelisting will work the best for you. I see LoyceV confirmed that global mods can whitelist too so try reaching out them too.
Good luck.

If it makes any of you feel better, even moderators are hampered by the 4 seconds limit.

I can also whitelist and I see that OP is already whitelisted (either due to being manually whitelisted or due to having bought a Copper membership). Only admins can increase the allowed post reporting rate so if you can make a good case contact theymos.

I never got any problems with reporting or posting time when i reporting some kind of posts and threads.
But i think thats maybe because i have done all with my hands and there is no reporting bot running here.
For sure if there is bot reporting it will be get some problems with that , but i dont know exactly .
