5000 good posts reported - we can all do it too!

[examplens]

If the admin/mods did their jobs we wouldn't have to report anywhere near as many posts which, like previous posters, go "unhandled" seemingly through indifference.

I don't think that "unhandled" means indifference, its more often about mods/admins not wanting to mark report as being bad, so they leave it unhandled.

Beside admins/mods being way more strict, the other way to reduce amount of reports needed by other members is forum has more of them, preferably each board having different mod so they can browse through every new topic and moderate it (the way its been done in some other forum I visit). Since mods here are paid for their work, I don't think that's going to happen.

has any moderator so far explained exactly what is crucial in approving the deletion of reported posts?
on only 3440 reported posts, I have 14 bad, and 14 unhandled. although I'm pretty sure all unhandled absolutely deserve to be deleted. I would really like to hear the moderator's opinion on why they left it unhandled. not only in my case but in general for everyone, especially reported by users who have a high percentage of accuracy.

I believe there was already a discussion about this, but I haven't seen the mod's confession until now.

I guess its all about how obvious is that post reported broke one of the forum rules.

on only 3440 reported posts, I have 14 bad, and 14 unhandled. although I'm pretty sure all unhandled absolutely deserve to be deleted.

That's very low amount of unhandled reports considering how many you reported, and i am sure all of us think the same about our unhandled reports. 

I would really like to hear the moderator's opinion on why they left it unhandled. not only in my case but in general for everyone, especially reported by users who have a high percentage of accuracy.

I believe there was already a discussion about this, but I haven't seen the mod's confession until now.

I remember seeing mods discussion it so I looked it up a little bit and this is what I found and its pretty much as I thought it is. So instead giving us bad report in the end, they rather chose to let it stay unhandled so it doesn't affect report percentage.

Yeah, definitely borderline reports are more likely to stay in unhandled status than straight forward cases. I'll need to come up with some examples, which I was struggling for the other day. I was going to do it for my reporting effectively guide I made a few years ago. There's just some instances were a soft bad is more appropriate than handled it as a bad report, and it's usually something along the lines of a borderline case.

One example would be malicious links or distributing malware. While the moderator might agree that it looks malicious, verifying that can sometimes be difficult, and hence they can sometimes go unhandled, which isn't ideal, but verifying something like that is rather difficult. There's a lot of work involved actually verifying whether something is unsafe. Users reporting tend to rely on online virus checkers, but they routinely false flag mining programs as an example.

If you ever need an explanation on a report you've made, and it's within my sections I can probably help you out. However, obviously there's cases where I haven't acted upon it, and won't know what's going through the mind of other moderators. Although, for unhandled reports I can usually give you some sort of idea why it wasn't handled. As for, being marked bad; I can sometimes give you an idea.

I don't mind answering these questions in personal messages. I've had a few users come to me, and I can't always give you a definite answer, but might be able to give you some reasons why it may have been handled the way it was. So, feel free to message me about any issues.

I, myself, don't report on a daily basis. But when I start reporting I make a campaign which may last a few months [...]

Some of your reporting statistics are just amazing.

Thank you

I cannot find the link right now to the post you made and how many reports you made but I simply remember being surprised at the numbers involved. Congratulations to you too for the efforts and dedication involved 

Thank you once more. The post you had in mind is this one:

After a "reporting spree" at beginning of the year when, for a few months, I managed to have even 15.000 reports within a month (for a few months in a row), I come back with my lattest results:



I am still aiming to that 100% accuracy, which is -- it seems -- sooo hard to get And, whenever I feel very close to reach it, I realize that I'm still stuck at 99% Nevertheless, I'll still work on it!

Or, maybe this one, made by theymos?

That is it, the one I referred to was the one in the image. The OP, yourself and several other members have seriously excelled at this and it should make the rest of us ask how many reports should we be making. I mentioned elsewhere in a different thread I need to report more, hopefully I will be able to. Even though I would never reach those stunning statistics, I really should be contributing more to the forum by way of reporting posts.

I am by no means the top reporter as I know there a a good few members who spend a lot of time reporting. I usually spend 20 mins a day if I can and yes it can become quite addictive 
  If you do fancy reporting I’d advise to really stick to a board you are interested in and f comment/ follow a lot in.

That's really a whole lot of reports with 100% accuracy. I just did 13 with 91% accuracy; I hope I improve this year and get some good accuracy. Thanks for the advice as well.

Mbitr, 100% accuracy, is simply amazing.

How will it be 100% for the entire report of 5059 posts while 5,000 as said to be good and 38 are marked as bad report?

I also report very often, but sometimes, unfortunately, the moderators do not agree with me.

Lol... But of course, they don't always have to agree with you since we all aren't homogeneous in our thoughts. However, if they agree with you more than they disagree with you it means you're doing something right and that should be the consolation. I'm far behind on this report thing. Nevertheless, I think I should pay more attention to it this year.

It looks like this percentage is rounded up, so it would be 99% only if OP had 50 bad reports.

Its perfectly normal to have somewhat lower accuracy when you first start reporting, especially before you get the access to report history (you get that after 300 good reports) as it gets easier to figure out bad reports if you report in bulk.
If you want to reach those 300 good reports asap, probably the best place for that is altcoin board due sheer amount of shitposts there.

Thanks for all your replies folks 
I’ll lock this thread up and hopefully reopen when I get to 10,000!!
Interestingly, the last week there hasn’t been so much spam to report … hopefully this thread has inspired a few people? Or maybe it’s just a calm before a spam storm LOL
