Topic: Monthly Report Statistics - page 9. (Read 3698 times)

Nice data presentation, tranthidung.  

And thank you to hilariousandco for the raw data, too.  I'd be interested in seeing something like a "top ten" reporter list to see who those members are who do the most reporting.  Theymos dumped that kind of data a couple of years ago but hasn't done it since.  I think I was on the list at the time, and even though I wouldn't expect to be on it now I'd still like to see who the most active reporters are.  Any chance that could happen?

That's something I'd definitely like to see--and I know it's been suggested before (and rejected--or at least ignored), but it'd be cool if the top reporter(s) got a badge near their username or avatar.

Most forums have a super-secret restricted board for staff members. Not much happens there though and it's rare that specific cases are discussed unless there's something someone is very unsure of.

Is that surprising? I expect most forums to have it.

They may need to discuss cases, not all Mods can ban all users for instance.

Really, is there?

I thought the mods are assigned boards for which they could just act independently and perhaps the global moderator supersedes the whole boards. A deliberation on a report is one thing that could be tasking and time consuming too. If there is any of such form of restricted boards and deliberation of reports, unhandled cases is bound to be much as statistics presents as, a lot of cases are not going to be considered probably due to time factor and a lot more others could be a product of an Indecision which means, its not entirely a bad post. In any case, it's a good statistics pulled off because, the cases looked into is a ton of work!

I will find that dataset and will be back tomorrow.

In the meantime, there are percents of good, bad, unhandled reports per total reports.

• good: good reports
• bad: bad reports
• unhandled: unhandled reports
• total: total reports
• good_p: % of good reports
• bad_p: % of bad reports
• unhandled_p: % of unhandled reports

Not surprising that we had absolute record reports in summer of 2018 with nearly 50k good reports and only 395 unhandled... epic result.

Someone really needs to edit that hilariousandco post and convert it in readable tables with spaces, now it looks like a matrix movie opening scene, but maybe that was by design...

From my perspective as a user, a report becomes "unhandled" instantly (until it changes later).

Any chance you can nominate a "snitch of the month" for each month?

Can you produce a graph with good reports as a percentage of total posts each month? Monthly post data must be available somewhere already.

My interpretation is they'll leave those reports for another mod to judge. And none of them dared to decide.

Period Jun 29 - Jul 29. In this period, 11187 reports handled as good, 222 handled as bad, 145 unhandled.

Consider such a report as almost bad. If it was good, it would have been handled. Since it wasn't the mods don't agree with you, but they are also not sure how to look at it.

I guess this is a typo, right? You wanted to say "unhandled", not "bad". If the mods don't know how to react, they won't handle the report, hence it remains unhandled. 

That should be correct. The reports remain unhandled until the mods either mark them as "good" or "bad". I have 5 unhandled reports God knows from when.

Hi @hilariousandco just asking where is the Jun 29 2021 - Jul 29 2021 statistic? It's missing? thanks.

From the charts, reports peaked in mid of 2018 and there are two lower peaks in mid of 2019 and late of 2020.

Probably reasons

• Mid of 2018: implementation of Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements
• Mid of 2019: massive bans on plagiarism
• Late of 2020: bull market attracted bounty hunters and new generation of users.

Agreed.

If I understand what hilariousandco said correctly. I think yes and that's the reason why some cases are unhandled for they are unable to be treated for a certain max time.

I assume the unhandled cases are not ‘cleared’ every month as they would not show up in your report history anymore ?

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?

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.

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. 

Wow , these are some crazy numbers . These reports are definitely keeping the mods busy .
I’ll look forward to another member who loves stats to work out percentages and trends over the years  

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?
