In some cases, mod/GM send you a private message to tell you why the report was marked as bad.

maybe PowerGlove can help with this patch, As he helped with improving the privacy "Last Seen Online" Patch.
While it's a good idea, without additional permissions @PowerGlove won't be able to do anything.
Yeah, I think the same as well.. This could be a very nice option where mod/GM sends some private messages regarding to the reports marked as bad, or maybe something like a monthly stat of general overview of how the reports some users did has been handled so far. This could make it so easier for at least active reporters to see their statics of reported data.

Incorrect. My post says something different. It still takes 300 good reports for this button to appear.
Hah, I totally misunderstood your post. Anyway, thanks for the explanation and too bad that requirement hasn't been lowered as I thought.

Hence if it’s just 30 days can someone explained why we have tohit  the 300+ good post mark and why it wasn’t open for at least 30+ report… not really after the feature anyways but I’m just curious WHY?? Apt is it just how it was implemented in the SMF
Imho, the initial idea about needing to have 300 good reports in order to get report history feature enabled is to have some sort of incentive/reward to keep reporting.

I managed to find that post I was mentioning ealrier, that requirement has been significantly lowered so all  that you now need only 25 reports to get that feature enabled.

I would like to add that if a user has 25 or more reports, the good/bad/unhandled reports indicator is activated.

LOL... I would like to know how the drama ended and why you weren't banned. Did a moderator call your attention to the report?
As i focused on what i report mostly and how i report things it still comes to some mistakes or fails , thats normal when you report a lot of things.
Anyway , i clicked the wrong reference link for my the report i made and just clicked the report to moderator button.
Dont know why but when i do a report i instant refresh my report history page and when i saw the misbehavior of myself i sended a pm to the Global Mod.
So i guess they knowed me already and there was no issue from that report.

I just think I should bring it as a suggestion.
My suggestion about it is that you should be thinking twice and maybe also making a list of what you report.
Thats the way i do , as there can be some references in the future you can use for other reports.
The best thing is to have some Self Basic Standart how you report things.

While we're on the subject: I'd also like to see which posts I've reported already. I'm thinking of something like graying out the "Report" button.
+1. That would have saved me loads of bad reports when I was on reporting sprees that sometimes ended by making bunch of double reports by mistake.

Can user that reported a post see his own comment? That is not possible. It would be good if it can be in a way that I can click on good, bad and unhandled that is at the right part of each report and be able to see my comment after I reported a post.

Bad reports are not bad, but just what that brought up this question back on mind.
I'm somehow convinced that even after a while if you see the same post, you should know exactly why you reported it. If this is not the case and you need to remember what reason you gave when reporting, then maybe even the moderators did not recognize it and it's expected this report to remain unhandled or bad.

That is more like deleting a post.. tried testing, you can't delete a topic but you can delete other posts and i think the only reason an author will edit a topic to "." Is because he can't delete it , so it's probably going to report it  or still get reported anyways but it's still not bad to have it because with the report option it get recorded as " deleted by moderator" .
As users, it's only allowed to delete posts, and not allowed to delete threads. Only forum moderators, admins can delete threads.

If your post is spam, and reported to forum staff, it will be deleted if forum staff agrees with a report against your spam post.
If your post is in a spam thread, and that thread is reported to forum staff, and the staff agrees with a report, he will trash that thead including your post.

An example is Ratimov, with many self-moderated threads. He deleted many posts of forum members in such self-moderated threads, but when he wanted to delete his threads, he reported it to moderators. Some threads were deleted, and some were not, it's up to moderators.

I do not really understand this. I mean what you meant as what will not work for the OP? Xal0lex corrected Alone055 and not about this discussion.
I believe  you're  are talking about an old report, so with the 30 days range you won't still get to see the particular  report.. even if you already have yours enabled( the feature Xal0lex mentioned) which i know it should hold true for you Smiley.
Only administration can say why this number. But, it is certainly to avoid abuse, and so that only those who make good reports have access to this extra information.
I think that before we reach 300 reports, it would be interesting to understand why some are considered "bad" reports. But, we only know that x were good and x were bad.
Okay... makes sense but  how can it be abused?? I mean it's just viewing report history right... I'm not against the way it's currently implented  actually, since it keeps the forum in it shape, I'm just a little bit inquisitive, nothing more Smiley.

I just wonder if it wouldn't be interesting, even for the forum's resources, to eliminate posts or topics that only have "." after editing by the author. But that is another matter.

But, if all of this has worked as intended to keep the forum minimally tidy, I also don't see a big issue in making changes.

Then I get to know it’s 300+ good and it holds report histories spanning 30 days from this same thread, which means it won’t likely work for OP anyways even if it’s enabled for him..

300 is not many at all.  Also I noticed that everything is still kind of very good as it is set to 300 good reports.

Dont be worried about that mistake , that happend to all that report a lot of posts and things.
Just for an example what i did in the past is that i reported myself for posting a Malware download Link and that this User should be banned  Cheesy
I am not worried about the bad report. It is even displayed on the report page that we do not need to worry about our report accuracy, that one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports. Just like I have posted, I have something like this to ask before, but my bad report mad me remember today because I feel like to see what I commented about on the report. If nothing is done about it, there is no problem at all. I just think I should bring it as a suggestion.

Meanwhile, OP, most times the reports that were supposed to be good as at the time they were reported could be bad if it takes a long time to be handled. Yea, the context of the post relative to the report could change.  I think this is why some posts not handle within a period of time are expunged from the mods log.

Even if someone makes 300+ reports, do all the reports stay in the history, starting from the first report, or are only the reports mentioned in the history starting from the 301st?
To see your report history, you need to have at least 300 good reports, not 300 reports.

Do these reports have a visibility decay time, or are the details of every report made visible, even after years?
Your report histroy (if available) displays your reports in the past 30 days.

I see; while reading the thread, I saw some users mention 300+ posts (Good was not mentioned), so I assumed it's just 300+ (Inc. good, bad, and unhandled); I guess everyone makes mistakes.

If just 300+ were the case, then any newbie and brand new account would be getting that optioned enabled for them, just by spam reporting any posts (I guess this was taken into consideration)

This is off-topic (Can be avoided to answer): Are there any rule against bad reports?, It's encouraged that users should report posts that are spam, off-topic, or irrelevant, but what stops a mass farm of users from mass reporting any posts coming their way.

God, I did not notice this too. You are correct, 300+ good reports, not 300+ reports as I posted earlier that is not correct.

Report History
Only users who have reported 300 good reports have access to this page
This is probably one of the most useful features related to reporting. Basically, this shows you a history of your reports, and whether they have been marked good, bad or are unhandled. This page can be used for ongoing evaluation of your reporting habits. Use the information on this page to improve the quality of your posts.

I think that I read somewhere that 300 reports requirement has been lowered and now you need like few dozens of reports (or something like that) in order to get report history. If you ask me, report requirement should be removed alltogether, esepcially now when not many people care to report spam on the regular basis.
I did not know about that but it is accurate information, I think you can find it in Monthly report statistics. Discussion there is about decreasing trend of reports in Bitcoin forum and it is possibly related to reduction of Report History Page display condition.

Bad reports are not bad, but just what that brought up this question back on mind.
Mostly if there is a report marked as bad (if you report another Users post for some reason) it happens that the comment you made on the report maybe is incorrectly formulated.
Also happend to me a few times.

The best thing you can do after you make a report is to check what you reported.
That's what I do after every report. (This assumes, of course, that you already have access to the report history)

If you see that you have done a wrong report on someone , write a pm to the Moderator or Global Mod.

It really doesn't make much sense, you not knowing the reports you've already made.
If you reporting a lot it can be happen , if you have some reports around 60 or 100 posts a day in a short time , it is possible.
Also happend to me  Grin

@Charles-Tim
Even it would a nice thing to have , it also would be disappear after a Month.
And on top of that as it is in the end of the day only a statistics thing i think we dont need that.
If you can make some Structure and discipline into your reports and how you will be make them you should be possible to avoid that again.

I really don't know what he want.
Check the two images that Xal0lex posted above these posts. On the first image, you will see 'enter comment' which is used by a reporter to let moderators know what the poster did wrong. On the second Xal0lex's image, you will see 'status' which is where the report is marked as good, bad or unhandled. Can you see that they are written in black. It would be good if it can be in blue, like a link and become clickable to see what we comment about the post that I reported.

I also agree that special privileges should be given to those who constantly report posts because they keep the forum clean.

Those who often send reports, and their reports are accepted as good, understand enough how to send and how to report to the moderator. I don't think they need such privileges. The goal is different. There are rarely reports marked "bad," and surely the one who sends a report and receives an error can conclude that he did something wrong.

In any case, rare "bad" answers should not affect the mood of the reporter (I have seen complaints) or his further activities.

Those who often send and receive "bad," should change their views on what they do not like Smiley.

It's not a bad idea in general if it's implementable. However, I have a different thing in mind for the same purpose but just a different way of implementing it. The space below the textbox where we write our comments about the report can be utilized to show previous reports. I'm talking about this space:



(It should come directly below the textbox and everything below that should be pushed down.)

Reports should be shown in a table with the link to the reported post/thread, report date, and the remark, such as "Good", "Bad", or "Unhandled. Let me show you how I'm suggesting it to be.

The way I see it, as long as the moderators review the post before making any decision, then it's no biggie. The reported post or poster won't get some punishment if the report is marked as bad. This becomes an issue if the moderators don't review the post, which they always do.
The only issue here is a bad post might have gotten away with a report except you can remember the post to look for it.

I also agree that special privileges should be given to those who constantly report posts because they keep the forum clean.

[2] When PowerGlove worked on the "Last Active" patch, was he given extra privileges, or did he open the SFM source code to implement that patch and forward it to theymos to make it official, If that's the case, then I am sure PowerGolve will come with something.

Except you are wanting to get the admin privilege otherwise it's not possible for you to have those options enable. But however, I believe something can still be done that way you said.
That is true but both admin and moderators have the privilege. Yet there are some things that admin might be able to do but which moderators will not be able to do. It is also possible that this can be implemented and the reason for the suggestion. Even it can be done in a way some users will be be able to do it while other will not be able to.
Good! That means from your suggestions only those who are mostly reporting post can have this privilege and not just all, only reputable members whom their reports are seems to be urgent when reported.
Maybe I will also suggest you create something like a vote or where theymos could give those who are more active in reporting post this privilege to only view and not deletion.
Does this make sense to you or it's not necessary to create something like that?

Since there is a certain number of posts you will report to that will enable you to see which of your reports is marked as bad and which one is marked as good, which is not so for those who just start reporting newly, the option you suggested will be a good one; at least you can be able to judge yourself the reason why a report is marked as good or bad, either based on the misinformation on the comment before reporting, as you might be reporting for something else and end up adding another description to the report.

If you have some post unhandled that means the admin or mod have never given their final judgement on that particular post or those posts doesn't go against their standards IMO.
