Selfless people like you are very rare. You dedicate your time and resources to ensure that this Forum gives out quality information. In our society where capitalism has infused profit maximization in the mind of almost everyone. But, I am sure that your voluntay service will always be remembered and your rewards will surely come. Best regards.
There is actually no 'reward' per se, of course for someone who reports that amount of posts within such a short space of time, you get the deserved recognition from the community, which Ratimov absolutely has already, the only sort of 'reward' might be in the future if the Admin of the forum decides to implement a reporters badge that has been discussed previously, if that happens then Ratimov is definitely going to get one, no doubt about that. You are just amazing i wish one day i will become like you how hard you working in btt and just in 3 months 30000 reports its just possible for a big boss pro btt user we are just a tinny ant to you.
In my opinion, being a newbie you basically should be more concerned about contributing to the forum through learning more about the forum in general, Bitcoin/other whatnots, and making quality posts and participating in discussions, thus somewhere along the line you can now start reporting posts in mass, it would be easier for you then as you will be able to discern which post is LQ/not in the right section/breaks the forum rules, etc.
Ratimov, you already have quite a few threads dedicated to helping users rank up when they have a few merits to go: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275032.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5391172.0You are also amongst the top generous merit givers in the forum, likewise a top reporter of low value post, and a high quality poster yourself; Your efforts to make the forum a much better place is really appreciated by the community, well done mate.

February 4, 2022 is certainly the most reported. can not imagine how to do manual reports up to 100,000 reports. I just want to say Please take care of your health and balance it with exercise, don't just stare at the computer screen. This is indeed an extraordinary job, this is a form of your dedication to the forum as DT1. many do SPAM or comments that are not useful, you clean it so that the forum does not have garbage. You're one of the best members. Good Job

I am a new member to the forum, though I started knowning Ratimov from last month. I am really happy and impressed from the activities of him. Whenever I see his name in a thread, I recognized him as a good charitable hardworking man. Ratimov, I believe, I will be like you one day in this forum. People like you are needed in all organizations mostly in politics to clean up the bad system (Corrupt leady). I am comfortable and happy in this forum because I trash are not allowed. Scammers are always ban and remove. He is strict and straight forward. His yes is yes and no is no. He doesn't hide his feeling like others. The statistic report you gave is impressive and realistic. That shows your commitment, dedication to make sure that there should be good posts, threads in the forum. Sir, keep doing the good tidy and continue to be charitable.

After looking on the amount time contributed to the forum, fighting shit posters and scammers, I am surprised you are not one of the moderators. Forum stuff should consider giving you more forum power, otherwise time isnt spent wise, as you are a middleman between shit post and moderator. You should be able to personally clean that garbage, instead of passing broom to mods. But only in case you want such a privilege yourself.
P.S. Thanks for keeping us clean!

@theymos, have you considered to hire the OP as a moderator? what is that saying I see sometimes? Oh, if you want to become a moderator, reporting is the way, you will be noticed. Unless forum currently has no need for new moderator. Otherwise this one here fits perfect, ofcourse I don't know everything I'm just speaking out of publicly available information.
@OP, thank you 3000 times.😘

It's been exactly 1 year since this thread was created. At the moment, the contribution to the fight against low-quality posts has stopped at around 130,000 reports.
Lately it's hard to find free time for this type of activity, but maybe this year I will be able to take a new peak. Now reporting on the forum is going through hard times. Very low activity of reporters.
Still you have contributed much to the forum in reducing spam posting and your 130k reports is also a big number and motivation for all those who are submitting reports to the moderator.We all have some IRL work also which makes us little busy but taking your words and knowing your capabilities I know other record is on the verge here. After looking on the amount time contributed to the forum, fighting shit posters and scammers, I am surprised you are not one of the moderators. Forum stuff should consider giving you more forum power, otherwise time isnt spent wise, as you are a middleman between shit post and moderator. You should be able to personally clean that garbage, instead of passing broom to mods. But only in case you want such a privilege yourself.
I think the main part is helping forum to reduce the spam in any way possible and if you see his reports have high accuracy and action is taken on most of them so he is helping a lot through this way also but if we say adding him as moderator then it's good option but till that time he is doing great job and it should be appreciated.I don't think his time is being wasted with it as moderator takes action also considering his report so his contributions are duly noted.We all know there are lot of things pending on forum which @theymos has to do so leave it to him while @Ratimov hits say 200k reports.

otherwise time isnt spent wise, as you are a middleman between shit post and moderator. I cannot agree that time is being wasted unwisely. The very point of reporting is not to become a moderator. But definitely, the forum needs an active member with such high analyzing skill to tackle the spam, I can't even imagine that number added with 100% which is insane to be honest so you deserved to be and if possible I vote for you to become one on the gambling board so we can get rid of the same and same topics created about gambling, blah blah...

There is one problem with OP becoming a moderator, he wouldn't be able to combat the spam anymore because he would need to wait for reports to act upon. Though he could use an alt to report and use the main account ( mod ) to deal with the reports, considering the amount of accurate reports, this should be easy to hire him as a mod.

I don't think it is really necessary for any moderator to take action against a spam post or any post which violated the forum rules only if there is a report made against it, If I am not wrong mods regularly visit their boards and lock the spam mega threads when its too spammy and also they handle the reports made by others.

Yeah, we do. I've made sure this year that I'm doing a lot more of that (plus I've got a lot of time now that certain big events in life have passed). I delete hundreds a day since the new year has started, which are simply me going through my sections, and deleting the spam. I've actually convinced myself it'll make a difference too, and I'm hoping that by the end of the year we'll have caught up with most of the spam within those sections. So, while the reporting from users has definitely significantly reduced, which we absolutely miss getting those reports. The moderators are still doing quite a lot behind the scenes on their own accord. I know I'm definitely not unique in that situation. Just take a look at the modlog, and you'll be able to estimate how many actions are being taken, that's separate to the monthly statistics that hilariousandco puts out.

Wow! I have only 3826 reports and I thought I was doing good. It was easier to find spam a few years ago I do not find as much as I used to. How are you finding 130000 posts to report at all? What boards are you reporting in? I see you are from the russian local board is there a lot of spam there? It is odd that you have not been made a mod yet but I agree with the others I think you should be a global mod with that many reports.

It can only be because more members are trying to be better on their posting habit and discard spamming. It is good that many more are showing repentance. That is not to conclude that there are less spam posts but there are less number of members who post spams now. A small unit of members spamming now unlike before where more units did it. But no matter how anyone sweeps this forum for spam posters, the gambling section, altcoins and Off Topic threads will always have spammers.

Sometimes i also wonder if Ratimov is a kind of robot that has been doing this jot only being consistent about it but it never affects his postings and the quality delivery he had always give to the forum, i hope you know what it means to report a post that you must have gone through it and concluded it's not what should be, also @AverageGlabella if you think you want to get this aspect as of interest then i think the altcoins section is full of spammers and the bitcoin section as well and those that are common in doing this shitpostings are the newbies, but remember it need to take your quality time, Ratimov should have his own side of the story to tell as well regarding this, I also got motivated by this.

Unfortunately, this spam reduction has a downside. All the same with spam, the number of active users and the total number of published posts also decreased:
Yeah, but also the amount of activity in peak levels was due to the ICO/bounty craze, which we're still recovering from. That wasn't real activity it was just users coming in to post spam. I'd rather smaller activity, and real discussion than that. That's what most reports are these days is cleaning up from the peak activity, because these days I find that the quality of discussion is much better in general. There's some problematic sections for sure, such as the Altcoin Discussion, Bounties, Gambling Discussion, and the Tokens section. However, the bumping changes actually reduced a lot of the spam in the altcoin sections.

Lately, spam activity has moved in a different direction, as far as I know, and it is invisible to most users, but the moderators definitely know about it. This is a crazy activity of phishers who spam links in the mining and altcoin sections. I have been watching this since 2021, thousands of bans in the modlog of various newbies and fresh registrations. I wonder how this spammer or a group of spammers managed to get so many IP addresses to register thousands of accounts and evade a proxy ban?
Yeah, and bounties will continue to be a problem likely. This has always happened, but I've noticed, and I know a few other moderators have noticed, but users reserving posts, and never coming back to it at all. This is quite common with bounty threads. Instead of filling out their details like the other bounty submission posts, they just leave it blank, and go onto another thread, and do the exact same. It's like they're trying to secure a spot on the bounty, and do that across various projects trying to maximize their chances. I don't know how many of those I've deleted recently. Reserving posts has always been a problem, but not on this scale.

I tried to report such posts and got BAD. What is the point of such posts and why the moderators do not consider them low-value posts remains a mystery to me.
I can't talk for other moderators, but generally recently made posts I'll have a little more tolerance for. So, if they've posted today, and it's reported I'd just leave it unhandled, and keep an eye on the post. Although, for the most part these posts are weeks old, and they get deleted by me for sure. Some of them are years old. So, yeah I delete them. The only one's I don't are the reserve posts by the original poster of the thread. However, anyone else that posts these random letters gets deleted or any bounty submissions which don't have anything filled out, and have been there for a decent amount of time will get deleted. Honestly, I'm not a fan of users posting this type of content. It's spam at the end of the day. Basically, for me the longer its been there the quicker I remove it.

It really makes no sense to touch recently published posts and reserve posts in active topics, but I always reported crossed out posts and reserve posts from rather old topics. For example, in the bounty section, mprep removes such posts without any doubt, but why does this logic not work in the service section? This is weird. I have also noticed that the reserve posts of banned OPs in their created topics are also deleted, but not in all sections the moderators are of this opinion. What would you personally do with such a report?
It's just the difference on the interpretation of moderators. I've noticed things that myself, and mprep does in the Altcoin section, isn't universally done in other sections. I've actually had to change reporting habits based on that too. For example, merging posts together, something that mprep is very active in doing, isn't always the case elsewhere. However, there might be reasons for that, but I haven't dug into it as I don't think its a big deal. I personally, don't care much about my report accuracy. I've racked up a few bad reports for duplication reports recently. Honestly, it's probably the majority of my reports, despite having a userscript to try, and avoid it.

Basically, these are bot machines that work; they leave their posts in any bounty, probably to increase their activity. Further, you can observe how these mature accounts simply copy other people's reports. But the more such accounts are killed, the more difficult it will be for cheaters to create new accounts. Someone will eventually win. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

We've moved on from the "great project" era, and now we've got the reserved posts era. Like I said though, I'm hoping to restore the sections I moderate into something that can be read comfortably. Of course, a lot of users here will still complain about the section due to the actual projects being crap, but technically that isn't against the rules. Anything that's against the rules I'm hoping to have caught up to present day by the end of the year, which sounds crazy, but we really did have a ton of spam in that 2017 to early 2019 period. Hopefully, reports will start picking up again, but that'll probably require another spam influx which isn't ideal.
