Accuracy down to 98%

I wonder how many (good) reports hilariousandco has now, Id say >2000

1959 posts with 97% accuracy.

BTW, how do I see the number of reports and accuracy (other than after I reported a post?)

Click on : Report to moderator ( to the right side ) . I think this is the unique method to see your  report accuracy.

You can see them BEFORE you report a post (ie. just click the link, don't validate)

Mine has been stuck to 93% for some time. I wonder if my reports are not being handled ? If that is the case, someone else will report those and mine will invalidate, resulting in a drop in accuracy

[hilariousandco]

They're unlikely to be 'invalidated' unless the latest report is handled and your previous report didn't contain enough information to still make it relevant (ie merely stating 'wrong forum' etc). My accuracy hasn't budged from 97% for nearly 500 reports now so it seems stuck to me as well. Has anyone else's gone up or down or just stayed the same?

Well over the past 50 reports mine went down from 94 to 91. After making many more reports it has come back up 1%.
You're working like crazy though, good job.

Mine's been at 96% for roughly forever, but I only have 69 reports.

Should reports specifically list the violation? I tend to stick to obvious spam posts with only "spam" written in the report I don't even bother to type out thanks to autofill.

Receiving feedback on reports would be really, really useful. Sometimes my reports actually ask whether or not it should be reported, and since I don't know whether or not I'm just wasting mine and mods'/admins' time by reporting, I stick to a really obvious stuff.

It really depends on the mod that's handling the reports. Some follow a bit more strict guidelines and some are much more lax when handling various cases.

Thanks. Specifically, one which threw me a bit off a few days ago was a post by a Sr or Hero member which was a "news topic" in - I think - Bitcoin Discussion, but the content of the thread was literally just "Post discussion at [some site the OP appeared to control]." Is that a violation of rules 1 &/| 24? It linked to content but had no content itself and was (rather, I assumed it was) an advertisement.

You should try and list at least a little detail imo but the more info the better and lessens the chance of a bad report. Normally we can probably make it out fine, but sometimes people will just report the post without actually even stating why and there's been a few instances where I've been scratching my head as to why it was even reported in the first place. There's also the possibility that a mod will move the thread to the correct section before it has been officially 'handled' and if you just state 'wrong forum' or whatever it will look like a bad report to the other mod.

It's seems a matter of perspective. I've spoken to other staff members privately and they have stated if the report was submitted for a obvious reason, then there's no real need to put anything in the field. although they did say it's easier for them. Really, there's no need to specify where the topic should be moved, if it's posted in the wrong section then that's exactly what we report. I do tend to specify where to move the thread if it's complicated or not easy to identify where it should go, but the majority of the time it's actually easy to identify by the title or even skimming over the post for a few seconds.

So my reports are a mixture of both, if they are more complicated I'll specify where to put them. To every thing else, ref spam etc. They are pretty easy and there's no need to go into detail with them. I've gone into a little more detail with duplicate threads etc actually linking to the dupe.

There's also the possibility that a mod will move the thread to the correct section before it has been officially 'handled' and if you just state 'wrong forum' or whatever it will look like a bad report to the other mod.

I've been caught out by this a few times.

I've been at 98% for around 2 months now. But, was at 99% for as long as I can remember before dropping recently.

It may be obvious to the person reporting it at the time, but like you said, perspective, as sometimes it's not obvious for the reasons I outlined above. No matter how long you spend reading a reported post if it's been moved to the correct section already and you've reported it as 'wrong forum' it's going to look like a bad report and will likely be marked as so. Simply stating 'wrong forum' is fine and will suffice 9/10, but if you're worried about getting a bad report I'd include the tiny bit of extra information just in case.

I did edit my post to continue further (I have a habit of doing that). I have been caught out a few times for simply stating wrong section but, I'm not really concerned about my percentage, doesn't really affect me much as long as the issue has been dealt with. People are too concerned about the report percentage, but that comes down to bragging rights and ego problems I suppose. It's been stated that each staff member is different and take their own intuitive when it comes to handling reports.

So, yes I agree it's better to include more information if you can. But, the majority of the cases don't really need much pointing out, unless you are concerned about losing percentage because it's been moved recently.

[hilariousandco]

Yeah, I saw the edit, and yeah, you're right that percentage doesn't matter that much but people do like to try keep their score up for whatever reason, but for those who are concerned I'd include the little bit of extra info but that of course is entirely down to the individual reporting.

Funny you should ask about that as I just reported it myself. Imo it looks like ref spam / doesn't have anything to do with bitcoin or getting paid in bitcoins so probably should be trashed.

From what you described, it sounds that it's just a useless thread thus it can be reported although with so little detail, it's hard for me to determine whether I fully understand the situation.

That should be in Service announcements, as it's an off-site service.

Noticed ref link. It's ref spam and should be deleted.

[deadley]

There is no referral link on there, it must be on service announcement.

P.S. If same posts reported by many, then who will got credit for that report.
