If I may ask, why are there unhandled reports? Are the unhandled reports handled in the next month? Do they stay unhandled? I'm pretty sure they stay unhandled as I have 14 unhandled posts in my history and only 3 of them are recent.
What makes a report go as unhandled status and why is it not later handled?
When a report is market as "unhandled", is it because moderators were busy or something or is it a way to acknowledge the report is not bad but not so good as to act either?
A report isn't marked as such, it just becomes 'unhandled' when it's been in the queue for x amount of time and is eventually pruned.
Partial answer, still searching this thread for more.

From my perspective, reports remain unhandled because no mod decided to take any action, based on their judgement. The report may technically not be bad (cause it would be marked as such), but it's a complicated situation and each mods chooses not to act.
AFAIK, the mods have a restricted board where they can discuss reports and in a case where a report is presented and no one can come up with a solution, it will be marked as bad.

Unhandled means it was not picked up by any mod at all; you only take action when something is handled. These numbers are insane, and there must be leftover cases every month; I'm curious if these unhandled cases are cleared every month. to make way for fresh cases?

I assume the
unhandled cases are not ‘cleared’ every month as they would not show up in your report history anymore ?
Isn't there a standard? Do moderators not all agree on issues reported? Maybe there should be a standard?
