What is the Impact of Accurate Reporting on User Profiles

[Davidvictorson]

I am wondering what happens with this in the long run. For instance, if a user has reported 1000 posts with over 90% accuracy. Is there going to be an automatic positive trust to their profile or what?

Nothing, there are users who even have 10,000 reports with more than 90% accuracy but nothing happens. Last time theymos mentioned about this that he might use it to have a police badge or something like that, the community especially the designers make their contribution for the badge. That was years ago already though, and until now there's no update regarding it.

Being a good reporter does not make a user any more trustworthy, but I can see how that will improve reports and help the mods and forum in general.

If you are helping with reports now the benefit is you get a much cleaner forum free from spam and other annoying habits which make boards difficult to read through.

It would have been good if theymos can use it to give the users positive trust and reference the reason but because you are reporting post, that does not means you are trustworthy in a trade which is the reason the trust was created. I am talking generally and not referring to you.

The only thing I know theymos did was that he use to bring up new thread about highest reporters. Like this one below

Top Reporters

A moderator or someone later talked about the reporters to have a badge and make the code for it,  but you can only see the badge after you install an extension or something on the browser that you are using to access this forum and only you will be able to see the badge.

Theymos did not do anything about reporters than posting about them. The last report was in 2021. It would have been good if it is done annually.

I would like to remind you that reports to moderators are created not for something but despite everything. If a moderator listens to your reports and most of them are "good," that is, in agreement with your opinion, isn't that a sign of trust? Why do you need to have some kind of badge or something like that when, in essence, sending reports is like cleaning your own house? Will you expect praise from your family for something that, in principle, you should keep in order?

I think to have such a thing is good. A father is known as daddy in the family, a mother is know as mummy. On this forum, people like theymos and Cyrus are known as admin, while some people are known on this forum as staffs and moderators. Some people  are known as merit source. It will be also good if some people are known as reporters. Theymos will be the one to make the decision.

Shall I ask a different question? Why do you need a reporter's badge? Will this please your pride and vanity? But if we start with religion since I know that many people like to pretend to be religious. Do you remember the good deeds that are written about in any religion? “When you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” I think there is no need to shout about something that goes without saying.

And yes, a reporter is not a position or a duty, but an ordinary volunteer.

In don't think when we use the report to moderator button we are actually reporting the user's profile, rather you are reporting the user's post. In my opinion I believe the most important thing about that function is that is makes it easier for moderators to spot spam posts and also making them more efficient in noticing them. If your reports are usually valid, moderators tend to take your reports into consideration better over time. I think it creates more of a positive reputation for you to the moderators mainly, instead of a public reputation like the regular trust feedbacks.

However if a user's is frequently reported, overtime the moderators tend to notice and easily move posts from such users to the off topic section or in some cases even nuke them

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a chance that you could become a forum moderator if you reported 10,000 post with higher accuracy. For example, let's say our local boards section needs another forum moderator. Surely, one of the candidates or possible moderators could be those who consistently report posts with high accuracy.

Hopefully, your post could bring back the discussion of the reporter badge. This is really important at the moment to encourage forum users to report those who violate forum rules.

Yes, IIRC, and if I'm correct OmegaStarScream is one of the product of this. I just don't know when he became a staff but I caught up with him without having those "Staff" custom name/badge/rank (whatever you call it) then suddenly saw him wearing it. But it probably took lots of reports not just 10k. And that was few years ago already, idk whats the requirements now knowing lots of users have lots of good reports and high report accuracy.

[Halab]

Do you want to know my current stats on my reports ?

You have reported 485 posts with 98% accuracy (277 good, 7 bad, 201 unhandled).

I can't even check my report history.
So for me, it's more a question of a good alignment of the planets

There is nothing, its only helps you in your own way reporting about any post to help contribute to how the forum should be well sanitized from shitposters and scammers, when you see the accuracy on what you have been reporting on,  this will only shows how you're being on point in making such reports, whereas the accuracy doesn't matter as well just as you can see the information showing on report accuracy, if you also choose not to report at all, there is still nothing bad in that, other who are willing will continue in that regard.

The then Ratimov who later turned to Symmetric had about 100,000 reports which is very far from 10,000 but he wasn't made a moderator. Maybe, it was in the early days of the forum, when there was spam feast that that could actually happen.

Op, take spam reporters as secret police. They might not be known nor celebrated but they are doing their job. This is why people choose to be scam busters than spam reporters because they could easily get a positive feedback for a successful scam bursted.

In the long run, we get a better forum That's what happens

Its very hard to report 1000 posts with 90% accuracy but considering the amount of scam posts I can say 80% you can be accurate but that's also near to your target.

That was years ago already though, and until now there's no update regarding it.
Here's the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4742257.0

Okayyy, so that's a good thing I did not know about it before. Thanks for bringing this in front of us. I guess when a designer designs a badge as a contribution (for free) then the admins would consider this feature to implement. Well, creating a badge might not be a hard task, as its just an icon I guess. Which will be shown under the username. Forgive me if I assume it is wrong as I don't know how badges are made.

I have reported 111 posts in total with 99% accuracy, and 98 is good. Doing all that reporting is for the good of the forum, and as far as I know, nothing has been done for the highest-ranking reporter on the forum, but should we stop? No!. Let's make the forum look clean.

@Davidvictorson, you made mention of reporting 1K posts with 90% accuracy, right? @Mbitr reported 5k post as of December 26th 2022 when he created the thread "5000 good posts reported - we can all do it too!"

[Zaguru12]

Yeah you are definitely right, there was a time I looked up at how one can be become a Mod and reporting of posts was there but there are other things needed like how active you are, how you understand the forum and basically you recognition in the forum. Also desperation of a particular board needing a Mod like local board.

So to OP reporting posts definitely has its reward then, Since Theymos picks staffs on his preferences then this will certainly stand higher on the requirements list. But just see it as a duty to the forum to keep it clean

Here it is, found a link where hilariousandco explained it as a criteria

[SatoPrincess]

There’s no reward for reporting posts, neither is there a consequence for making “inaccurate” reports. Just think of it as doing a service to the community that you love and care about. IMO reporting is not a selfless act, you do it for the benefit of yourself as well as others. I think every bitcointalk member should take up the responsibility of reporting low quality posts or posts made in the wrong board. The less shit posts we have on the forum, the more easier it will be to find interesting and genuine discussions on the forum.

It is not related to positive trust because it is your contribution to report and wipe out trash posts, low or zero quality posts in the forum. It does not relate to your trade with any forum member.

Total reported posts, accuracy rate of your reports, can be helpful for you to get a forum reporter badge, if admins deploy that badge in future. It can be helpful for forum admins to assess and appoint a new forum staff.

I think the impact at the moment comes in few ways;

1. You get the satisfaction that, you’ve successfully gotten an unfit post out.
2. A moment to be proud of your report score and how accurate you have been in ensuring the cleaning of the forum.
3. You would effect how such users come up with contents to post or make posts in general as,

no one really likes having there posts been deleted and that alone could stir you in the right direction.

While these might not be written nowhere, it’s very much an impact that might occur to our subconsciousness, knowingly or unknowingly from both ends (Reporter/Reported).
Am sure forum staff would enjoy it too, having these brought before them and not having them to find it out every time.
