No warning when reporting same post twice?!

[Muhammed Zakir]

Hello,

I reported one post twice but I didn't get any warnings. I thought I will get one. Can it be fixed? The warning should only be appear if the topic is in the same baord as it was earlier.

Thank you!

Im pretty sure I reported some threads two or more times in the past. Especially those I follow but have been posted in the wrong section. Is that a problem? I guess it would be annoying for mods if it happens too much, but a few double reports are bound to happen due to several users reporting the same issue anyways.

Why would it matter? It's not uncommon to get multiple reports from multiple users. When you delete a post or move a thread out of your jurisdiction it usually auto handles them anyway.

I may not explained correctly. I meant multiple reports from one user. When same person report a post for second time, a warning would be helpful if the post is still in the same board.

I think I got you. Ill make an example to be sure.

Lets say I report the above post by hilariousandco as spam (its a mere rephrasing of my answer and Im sure they can take the joke its meant to be). This would be report #1.
Now I browse the board a bit, someone else replies, I forget what the thread was about because I have the attention span of a squirrel and start reading again from the top. I notice hilariousandco spamming and report the same post for the same reason. That would be report #2.

As hilarious and I said above, this should not be a problem for the mods handling these reports as they probably receive more reports about that hilarious spammer by different users and thus have several reports for the same issue anyway.

It still doesn't matter that much as how many times do you report the same post? (though it does happen from time-to-time but it's not a big deal), though maybe it could be changed so once you click the report button it changes to you have reported this post or you're blocked from reporting it again or something.

Deleting a post, yes. Moving a thread, no. It hasn't been handled, the report just disappears from your queue because the reported content is no longer in a section you moderate. In these situations, the report could be handled before reloading the page, or before moving the thread (after checking the validity of the report of course).

Thank you! Hope any lines won't be taken out of context!

You both are right. If muliple reports are high, a report won't do much pain but 1 report less is still good IMHO.

That means, if mod respond to shorena's first report and deleted it, the second report will be marked as good automatically? Sorry for the stupid question.

Edit:

Something like that would be good.

I don't know if I get you exactly. If it goes from hilariousandco's queue to mprep's, how could the report be handled? Can he know if the report was moved earlier or should he have to look modlog? If modlog is the choice, the limitation of the actions showing will affect, right?

Ah, right. I usually click 'handle' before I make the action anyway, but thanks for the clarification..

Educated guess. If the report just says "wrong section", and at that point it's in the right section, it's probably going to be marked as a bad report. If it says "move to alt currencies", or "is not bitcoin discussion" then he'll probably know what happened and mark it as handled. It's not exactly an uncommon thing, and the mods are smart folks.

It's part of the reason why people shouldn't stress over percentage points.

Thank you, BadBear! +100 for "the mods are smart folks".
