Accuracy down to 98%

I report local language as: should be in "local language" section. I usually can not tell if its spam or not.

If the post only says: "solved" I guess its kinda spammy. If the post is edited to include answers along with the questions its actually anti spam, as it makes redundant answers obsolete.

With the "Report to moderator" in the right side of each posts. If you click you will see also your report accuracy .

That's awesome. You have got the Mod material.

I have downgraded myself from 98% to 92%

You have reported 231 posts with 92% accuracy

[OnkelPaul]

You have got the Mod material.

Thanks, but I'm not inclined to be a Mod. Too much hassle, and I'd be frustrated over the cases that are not so clear cut. The posts I reported have been simple spam posts without any relation to bitcoin at all, clearly done by bots. There are much fewer posts of that kind nowadays...

Sorry to awaken the Zombie. But, using search function, it appeared that this is the right thread to discuss my issue.

For a long time, my accuracy is stuck at 97%. What can be done about it?

How many total posts have you reported? The answer is obvious anyways: Keep correctly reporting posts.

Report to moderator page shows...

You have reported 294 posts with 97% accuracy

I generally report obvious ones. So, chance of wrong reporting is almost nil, unless someone else is reporting before me.

How long is that? As long as reports don't get handled, you accuracy will not change from them.
There is a certain backlog on reports (especially those that need to be handled by global moderation or above).

As Lauda pointed out, keep making good reports, and eventually, your accuracy will increase.

Let's assume you have ~286 good reports and 8 bad ones based on that (note: this may not be true due to potentially unhandled reports). You need to make a total of 400 reports, i.e. 106 good reports from now to reach 98%. That's 400-8 = 392, which is 98% of 400.
The numbers may be wrong, but you get the general idea. You need a lot of correct reports in order to move up those percentages.

Something Lauda did not mention is, that accuracy numbers are rounded, which means, you only need to reach 97.5% in order for your accuracy to show 98%.
It however also means, you currently could be as low as 96.5%, while still being shown 97%.

(theymos changed this a few times, but I'm pretty sure this is the current way things are working)

What if someone has reported a thread as being posted in the wrong section, but a staff member spots it without looking at the reports and move it to the right section himself, will the reports then vanish, or will they remain active even though the thread has been moved to the right section. If the report stays active, and a moderator or other staff member sees that the report shows "wrong section" while it has been reported before the move, then it's obvious that the report will be market as a bad report.

When I make reports like that, they usually look like this "Wrong section -> Section to be moved".
If by any chance the thread gets moved before my report gets handled (eg by a mod, or even by the OP), whoever handles this report usually marks it as good anyway, or just doesn't handle it at all. However, most mods don't mark reports bad in those cases (unless it indeed was a bad report).

Simply illustrated with an example: Let's say we have a thread that is meant for Meta but is currently in the Reputation section. If you report it with :"Wrong section." and someone moves it before the report gets handled, we'd be left with a thread in the appropriate section being reported as "Wrong section.". It would be marked as a bad, because that's what it would be in that case. This is why you should formulate your reports in a better way:

When I make reports like that, they usually look like this "Wrong section -> Section to be moved".

I used to do "Shouldn't be in X section -> 'Move to Y section' OR 'move to appropriate section'" (depending on whether I'm certain where it belongs).

In some cases I was indeed including very simple text when reporting threads and posts, but I will now include more information where the mods will be informed properly in case of a thread posted in the wrong section for example. Right now I am sitting at 105 reported posts at 100% accuracy. It will be more of course since I will report what I think is wrong, spam, posted in wrong section, etc. In some cases mods do handle quickly, but some times it takes quite some time to get a report handled even though I see other reports are indeed being handled as the threads are either moved or deleted.

It really depends on the 'complexity' of the report. However, if you care about your accuracy and want to be on the safe side, then do so.

That depends on who you're reporting (user rank), where you're reporting them (which section) and the complexity of the report (e.g. standard bot spam vs. trolling). Reports on newbies should get handled really quickly at almost all times.
