Don't give up, just make it a part of your morning coffee/tea ritual and you'll see how beautiful the life can be.

when I have free time, I can report more than 30-50 posts in a day
I'm proud of our moderator (dbshck and sapta) they are very responsible

If accuracy is the goal I reckon almost anyone can reach 100% in an afternoon... there is certainly no lack of absolutely absurd abysmal abhorrent abominable garbage to be reported. I started reporting plagiarism en masse a few months ago and I thought I was gonna start running out of low-hanging fruit within a couple of weeks. So youthfully naïve.

We need to have more reporters (and a corresponding number of moderators to handle the crap) than shitposters if we want to turn the tide. So don't quit JC, at least not until some massive anti-shitposting reform happens, like bump/sort change, and/or tighter merit requirement for signatures, and/or serious crackdown on ban evasion.

Still, I have to report a few hundred posts more and I can reach the 100% accuracy again (e.g. 10 bad vs. 1001 good, that's only 0,99999999% bad, hopefully 100% good

).

You are correct. The reporting accuracy always rounds up, so 99.00001% will be reported as 100%. Given you have made 10 bad reports, making 991 good would mean 991/1001 were good (99.0001%), and your accuracy would read 100%. Broadly speaking, you can make 1 bad report for every 100 good ones that you make and still maintain 100% accuracy.

I think I've only reported about 100 posts with 97% accuracy, but I see that as 3% failure. If I fail. then I like to know the reason for the failure so that I can improve my performance. I was going to report the thread I mentioned because of the title, and the lack of information in the OP. Normally I wouldn't have opened the thread, but I was in one of my "Lets improve the Internet" moods.

Did I read that it is now possible to view a listing of our post reports. If so, that would solve the problem for me.

There's no need to stop reporting, because of the accuracy. I had also 97% before, even lower around 95%, when I have reported only a few hundred posts, but now I'm improving my accuracy...

Code:

You have reported 763 posts with 99% accuracy (741 good, 10 bad, 12 unhandled).

I have managed to get back to 99%, but I've slowed down and I only report something if I'm 100% sure that it will be a good report. Still, I have to report a few hundred posts more and I can reach the 100% accuracy again (e.g. 10 bad vs. 1001 good, that's only 0,99999999% bad, hopefully 100% good

).
I know that this is not the preferred kind of reporting style, but I'm a kind of perfectionist... if something can be 100%, I have to go for the 100%.
So keep calm and report on Cheesy

you can have a different view. 97% accuracy is a good rate, you were too strict only in 3%. I also think you will have a better picture with 500+ reports.
Few of my reports results in closing big spam megathreads and it was deleted 20+ spam pages. although it counts as one reports am satisfied because I help to remove an attempt to promotion trash service.

I still don't know which one was bad. I didn't report the one in the OP. As has been suggested, it's all subjective. I put people on ignore for starting threads with all caps titles, but I don't think that rates as a capital offence here.

Quote from: hilariousandco on December 23, 2018, 01:10:12 PM

You reported something as plagiarism but the person provided the source link so that's probably why it was marked as bad.

I wouldn't be worried about reports being marked bad if I were you. You can always message the moderator that you think dealt with it. It's pretty easy to work out sometimes, and like this instance your report was a genuine bad report.

Bad reports are only a guide - it is not a reprimand. Grin

Exactly. The last thing we need right now is experienced users giving up on reporting, even if your numbers are on the low side. It is much more sustainable to have hundreds of users reporting 5 posts a day than it is for 10 users to be reporting hundreds of posts each. Every little helps.

If every report you make is "good", then it probably means you are only reporting the most obvious of the obvious and are not reporting many posts that you should.

I have 1336 posts with 100% accuracy (1312 good, 8 bad, 16 unhandled)
Which means 1312 shit posts were deleted. Some of the ones marked bad were deleted by the moderator anyway.

The unhandled ones might have been handled in a different way or just too difficult to handle.
You will get better over time with knowing what the moderators are looking for and consider a good report.

The occasional bad report really doesn't matter. During peak times I've had lots of unhandled reports stay unhandled for some time - or forever. It is not unusual.

My bad reports reduced over time so you can easily get from 97% accuracy to 100% accuracy.

Bad reports are only a guide - it is not a reprimand. Grin

After 300 reports you get more feedback.

That's pretty much a good score and should not be one to worry much about,as their are very few users with a 100% accuracy(if there are any)
I think Its for this very reason theymos included the phrase that we should not be to worried about accuracy score

Apparently your 97% score is worth more than the 3% inaccurate ones

Moderators are also human,so they may have did wrong analysis about your reported post and give wrong button as bad report,but it doesn't mean you are not capable of reporting the posts,keep doing and make the forum clean veterans. Wink

I was going to report this thread - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/jaejefkjfsdkjfnsdkfj-5088685
but it's got an image in it, so maybe the kindergarten here will like it. I didn't open the image by the way.

The thread you have reported were deleted,so you did with accurate analysis,one more good report for you.

I have 99% accuracy with approximately 300 reported posts so far, only 5 marked as bad - but I think this is normal to make mistake, for users who report posts and for moderators. I think the worst option is to stop reporting bad posts, if this option does not exist on forum it is hard to imagine how it would look bad then.

Perhaps some people consider bad or unhandled reported posts as something that is their fault, but we should look at it on the bright side - any help to forum moderators/admins to keep this forum clean can only be positive thing.

Unhandled reports are not ignored, they are just waiting for the moderator (they will be marked as good or bad soon).

You are right in saying that have not been ignored, but not all reports will eventually be marked as good or bad. Some are left unhandled indefinitely. For example, if a mod agrees with whatever you wrote in the report, but think it isn't severe enough to be marked as "good" and delete the post in question, it may just be left unhandled forever. As stated at the top of the report page, you can think of unhandled as a "soft bad", as your report was correct, just not strong enough to warrant deletion.

You need to make 300 reports to see your reporting history.

I think the word "bad" is too strong, and may be discouraging for the reporter. If it were "inaccurate report" it would be much better than "bad report"

I think you need to have reported a minimum of 300 posts or something before that becomes available. Don't be disheartened by one bad report. They help us out and I think pretty much everyone gets them. Just learn from the mistake and if something has a source link then it's probably best not to report it.

Oh come on, Jet Cash! Don't get frustrated and give up so easily just because a few of your reports are either unhandled or marked bad. How many posts have your reported in total, anyway, and what's your report percentage?

This is me: "You have reported 4049 posts with 99% accuracy (3561 good, 65 bad, 423 unhandled).". Mods have obviously ignored (or just didn't act on) over 10% of my reports, and I've obviously had a lot of bad ones too, but I'm completely indifferent about those numbers. The main thing for me is that when I report a post, it gives me the feeling that I've done something, and after that it's out of my hands.

Jet Cash, I've always suspected that you're a type A personality who likes to get things done and is fond of being in control of situations. Am I in the ballpark? I'm almost the exact opposite of that, so that makes it easier for me to accept any bad reports I make. Please don't give up the fight, because I think your judgement on what constitutes a bad post is pretty good. You just have to accept that the outcomes of your reporting aren't under your control and mods aren't always going to agree with you. Keep up the reporting; the forum needs members like you who are trying their best to make it better.

I probably haven't reported nearly as much as you, but I would stick with it. If you enjoy the forums then it is best to report.
