Topic: Hai mate, i need some advice regarding reporting spammers to moderators - page 2. (Read 436 times)
October 22, 2021, 06:15:53 AM
Today I have reported at least 10-15 other profile to the moderators for review because I feel that they are spammers who make posts without any contribution. I hope the moderators will review it and give them a warning. Meanwhile, I'm not going to manually report posts by checking all their post history, I'm just going to report profiles for review. My job is getting lighter now after getting the The Pharmacist's advice.

The altcoin sections are the worst of the worst in terms of forum post quality, by the way. You may have figured that out already, but that's where all the bounty hunters go to meet their post quota.
With all the shitcoin ANN threads shitposts are to be expected.
The altcoin mining sub-forum is a little more sane, with the possible exceptions of a persistent scammer trying
to peddle infected pirated mining software, and an abundance of newbies jumping on the bandwagon wanting to
get rich quick with their Android phone.

Most likely that. The unhandled reports does not yet count on either side and doesn't affect the overall percentage until the mods take an action. If you do remove those figures, the good and bad reports would be at s ratio of 99.12/0.88$, without rounding up that would result in percentage of 100%.
Reporting percentages are a ceil function.ceil(good / [good + bad])

Those 5717 Posts with 100% accuracy? that's insane but how's that possible? After that "100% accuracy" it's saying (60 unhandled) then how's it 100% accurate.
Does it mean that that 60 unhandled are in progress and in review?

The question is, when I manage to identify a user with such a category, should I report the user to a moderator or should I report all his posts for review before deletion?
Yes, please report him and his posts if you believe they are spam, etc.
The following two threads have been created by Welsh and tranthidung with guidelines for reporting; have a look at them here:

Do you often use report button? There are guides to more effectively report

In any case, this is mine "You have reported 15 posts with 86% accuracy. Do not worry about your accuracy too much; one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports."
I'm used to ignoring the posts and adding those people who post nonsense to my Ignore list.

I know that looking for quality posters on an altcoin board is like looking for rice in a barn [difficult but there is]. I also know that reporting spammers on an altcoin board is also like reporting a [endless] newbie rank bounty cheater. But when many people ignore them then bad things will definitely happen to this forum such as losing its identity as a bitcoin discussion forum.
I wouldn't blame you [old members] for wanting to take a break from those activities and give us a chance to do more. Here's what I was able to do for the forum as part of my common sense function here while learning about bitcoin bit by bit. I need support and a lot of lessons, I think that's what I want. Until the time comes, I too will probably think the same as you now and give the other members that chance.

That's a good stats for two days. I stopped reporting last year so I haven't moved much since.

Having said that, don't give up! The moderators depend on members reporting garbage. Hilariousandco once suggested to me (IIRC) that if you find a member who's consistently making shitposts, you can just report one or two of them with a note in the report that the member is making zero-value posts nonstop. So you don't have to go through a member's post history and report them one by one (unless you want to).

I have 5000 for 4 years (soon)
Yeah, I've got just under 5000 in over 6 years. I stopped reporting as much as I used to right after the merit system was introduced, as the problem seemed to have gotten better--which it did, but obviously the merit system didn't eliminate it altogether.

Just try to reach 300 good reports, then you'll have access to the stats and see what you've been reporting. It's very convenient.
No, I do the opposite. You have 111 for 2 days.. I have 5000 for 4 years (soon) so. You'll go over my stats in less than
4 months. Lol

You can just write to in one of the reports that the Mods should check the account for multiple low effort/ spam posts.
If they see that the account is not worth it, they'll just ban/nuke it.
I found a good point here and it's really worth a try and a temporary ban make them realize their mistake. ThanksIf they see that the account is not worth it, they'll just ban/nuke it.
If you after stats, like many do you can report the posts one by one but it takes time.
No, I'm not chasing stats, but I'm sure it will help a lot. I have to learn it soon.That's a good stats for two days. I stopped reporting last year so I haven't moved much since.

In the last few days I have come across quite a number of poster spammers in the altcoins board whose posts are completely useless for the forum as I can read them as repeated posts and they are just shitposts. I managed to report some of their posts [faster after LoyceV add me to whitelist] to the moderators for deletion on the grounds that users posted only to increase the number of posts [without any contribution] in an effort to meet their weekly quota.
The question is, when I manage to identify a user with such a category, should I report the user to a moderator or should I report all his posts for review before deletion?
I expect a few things from you, and appreciate any answer that helps me.

BTW there's a good script you can use to make things very easy and fast.

By the way, this's the results of my report in two day.
