@Welsh

Can I report this post also?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--4779822

These kind of post have nothing to add in discussion and I do not understand , what is the purpose of OP of copying some image here from another site.

I am not sure for others but it falls under the "spam category" for me,

I try to message users whenever If I think they need an explanation or some reminder. However, it can pretty difficult to contact everyone, and my inbox gets bombarded with messages. I'm thinking of dedicating a time at the end of each week to reply to the more important messages.

The report history feature is a nice one though I admit. Gives you some feedback on your reporting habits, and does promote improvement.

It's nice when you have the time. For the most part there isn't a lot of information people need, but on the off chance it is good to get a little feedback.

So far looking at the report history feature I can us the "unhandled" to gauge whether or not the board moderator wants to deal with those posts. For me a lot of the time my reports are for wrong section, and certain boards aren't as finicky as others in regards to where they want certain topics.

The only feature I think it is missing is the report itself that was submitted e.g. "low quality", "wrong section", " plagiarism" and the many others. It could help hone in on why a report was bad, or unhandled in case you forget exactly why you reported it.

This is really a big help for me since I just started actively reporting posts. As of the moment I have only 9 reports with 100% accuracy. Even if I am actively looking for posts to be reported. I still wanted to make sure that this is really out of the topic tho sometimes there were really obvious sh*t posts that has patterns

Thanks btw and I am still learning more about it to atleast help some of the mods in moderating

So I just gained access to my report log. This is going to be helpful when reporting those clumps of garbage I stumble open from time to time.

I must say it's been nice having some feedback/conversations with some of the Mods along the way. I appreciate that some have the time to reach out and explain a particular action they may be taking, despite them being in no way obligated to do so.

Thanks again Welsh for bringing the log to my attention as it became the tool I could look forward to receiving and putting to use.

I was just wondering if mods will delete a topic that I started, and if they will also delete a locked topic started by someone if I reported it. Both of these topics are on archival section. There are also locked thread, and only the word "delete" or "please delete" is posted, why mods are not deleting those threads?

Personally, I move things to the archive section if they have been edited or received a few replies. Often users tend to try to cover up their threads by editing it to nothing. If they have edited it within 10 minutes, and it doesn't show its been edited, and hasn't received many replies I'll just remove it instead.

To my knowledge there's no real guideline on this, but this what I like to do personally. This way I'm not removing threads from existence so that anyone that saw the thread before it was edited can reference if they wanted too. I guess it also depends on the topic. If it's a sensitive topic I might opt to sending it to archival instead of deleting it even if it doesn't fill the criteria above.

I don't know whether to give you my congratulations or condolences for your ascension to mod-hood, but I do know that altcoins needs all the mod help it can get! Tongue

Yep, and anyone that's willing to help me by reporting anything that they think needs to be reported would be much appreciated. Settling in has been a little bit iffy, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of things.

Not many are reporting, I do if a few times a day on small portions but.. I wish I had more free time.

That's fine. I'm not really expecting users to dedicate their time to reporting. However, I can without a doubt say that there isn't enough reporters at least my jurisdiction to deal with the spam.

If you want i can bring you work for delete threads or move things to other Forums Wink

Just investigate daily a hour for that and when i search other things i also look for ! Grin

There should be 1 by now Tongue

I'll throw in another confirmation that it's 300 good reports:

Right, I'll probably add this into the original topic when it comes to editing it again. I still need to work on making the report history image smaller.

Another overshoot here, now I have an access to the "Your reports" history.

You have reported 309 posts with 100% accuracy (301 good, 3 bad, 5 unhandled).

Have I ever mentioned that we need a mascot for the forum? Kind of like how Uncle Sam represents the American government.

Alpacas are already the unofficial mascot of Bitcoin. Would seem only right for the forum to be represented by one wearing socks, which is oddly appropriate.

OTOH, Bitcoin is often called "the honey badger of money", so that'd be appropriate as well. Cool
