There's definitely not less spammers. I think we're probably past peak signature campaigns but now we have to deal with a lot of people using AI to post. I think theymos should definitely consider the reporter badges to get the reporting back up. Otherwise most people won't bother and reports will likely continue to decline or stall.

I see. Although aside from badge, IMO AI/chatbot spammer should be punished quickly. I've seen some of such spammer only getting banned after months of reports from multiple member.

Posts written by AI are getting harder to detect compared to stupid spam posts that clearly deserved being reported to moderators.

If someone is using chatGPT smartly, its basically impossible to detect it. Luckily, those who are lazy enough are usually not the smartest bunch so they are still getting caught from time to time.

And using chatGPT smartly usually involve writing more detailed chat, where such effort could just be used to write the post by yourself.

As far as I have noticed, the moderators no longer pay attention to the reports of older posts.

Imho that was a good move as it was just inflating the reports number, without forum benefiting much from it. Problem is that now when mods have more time with deal with current spam, not many people bother reporting them. Tongue

I agree with you regarding AI.

There are several tools for detecting AI posts but they are far from being precise and accurate.
And this days it's probably cheaper to use AI tools to generate post than to hire human spammer groups like it was done in the old days.

I don't know whether it's good or bad news. I could interpret it as either there are less spammer, people don't bother make report anymore or both of them.

I would say maybe its bad news , as it looks like that other or new Users dont care about for just click the Report to Moderator Button.
Mostly Users if they see Spam or things that should be reported they are just to lazy nowadays i guess.

It depends on how old the posts are , and as i remember there was post somewhere where it was explained why old posts not anymore maybe get handled.

I think that reporter badges will be for sure some inspiration and incentive that Users will be reporting more.
On the other Hand if we will be getting this you should be aware that you and all Staff Members will be getting a lot of work to do.
Maybe a ranking system for reporters like we have it for the normal User Ranks would be a good thing.
On top of that ( I call it now a Legendary Reporter badge ) can be calculated and used if you have the Legendary Rank + special amount of Merits + Amount of good reports.
Maybe @PowerGlove can bring something up here and theymos have just to implement it to the Forum.

Period Dec 10 - Jan 09. In this period, 1138 reports handled as good, 63 handled as bad, 46 unhandled.

This is the lowest number of reports since 2016 - it seems that we are slowly but surely going below 1000...

Otherwise, certainly, the ICO period is perhaps not the best for such statistics, because then we had a huge number of signature campaigns, without special quality control, almost openly offered payment for spam. It was a spamfest time.

threads opened in the Gambling section that don't fit there (usually moved to OT). I always report the same thing, the repetitive errors I see.

A topic like what's the effect of cash out?. I stand to be corrected I feel the main aim of the gambling discussion section is to discuss predictions, prediction outcomes, risk management and casinos with better odds and all. Maybe other related topics should have a different sub section.

For example in last report statistic we dropped from 1444 reports to 1247 in latest report.

The opposite has happened to me, I think, I will be the exception. I never reported much before but I don't know why, since I passed 300 reports I report more. Threads that need to be moved, low value OPs that can lead to megathread, threads opened in the Gambling section that don't fit there (usually moved to OT). I always report the same thing, the repetitive errors I see.

But in my case, being able to get a badge doesn't matter to me, although I won't be in the top reporters.

I think its quite the opposite considering how many times this topic (badges for reporters) came up since I've been on the forum. Those who spend a lot of time on forum tend to start taking it way too serously so even something as trivial as a reporter badge starts to look important.

I said ''most'' of the members, not all. Wink

We can agree that majority of members are not taking forum seriously, or we would have much better overall activity.
Small group of people is using forum as a source of income, and only tiny few are trying to do something good with reporting spam.
For example in last report statistic we dropped from 1444 reports to 1247 in latest report.

It's not important at all, and the chances of something like that being implemented are probably very small - but I don't see why you think a discussion on that topic is trivial?

I was merely explaining to dkbit98 why I disagree with him when he said that badges are not important to people, because I think they are. The more time you spend in a particular place, the more it starts to matter to you, making even insignificant things feel important (being that computer game, forum or something else). I’ve been guilty of that myself, as I’m sure many others have too.

Quote from: Lucius on December 04, 2024, 11:06:51 AM

On the other hand, those who spend a lot of time on the forum (whatever that means) may be partly responsible for the fact that the forum is still there and that the same members clean it of spam, plagiarism, AI garbage and malware links so that others can have a more pleasant experience on the same.

I totally agree on that part and nowhere in my post I implied anything against importance of reporting.

A member rank account, I'm sure he knew what he was doing, stopped after I created a merit thread on the local board and finally disappeared.

A member rank is not enough to understand everything. Or better to say if they did not spend much time on the forum, probably they don't understand it well. There is a thread from Loyce with the title "Report good posts to merit sources". That user found a report button under the posts so he used it Cheesy

I don't see anything wrong here. I would do the same thing if I were him Grin

I mean, this could happen due to misunderstanding. Don't get me wrong BTW, I am trying to understand what else he could think of when he decided to use report to moderator button.

I still think that its also can be a good thing that instant for getting a badge , it would be nice to get some sMerits based on Monthly Reports.

This is a fair point because if someone sees low-value posts, they will probably also see good posts that may be missed by merit sources. In addition, those who want to cheat will have to work hard, since moderators will always be able to see how many reports there are and from what ranks the reports come, and conclude whether the spam post was created intentionally or not.

To be honest, I don't think that money incentive is even needed to boost reporting numbers as badges would probably do the trick. Then again, badges could also be manipulated in the same way, and could be one of the reasons why he haven't seen them yet.

I don't think most of the members care about badges in their profiles, but there are few exceptions.
for example designer pizza badge looks cool, so I guess hammer would look good for top reporters.

My opinion is that money should not be involved in this story, because it would bring more problems than benefits.

Couldn't agree more, not every action on the forum should be monetized.

Quote from: Lucius on December 03, 2024, 11:22:30 AM

Why so far we don't have badges for best reporters, and on the other hand we have badges for those who bake the best pizza or contribute to the forum by revealing security flaws or winning a competition?

That's a good question, but for whatever reason theymos is reluctant to implement them. As for pizza winning badges, I guess he considers them more trivial, therefore not so much thought was needed into introducing them.
