Okay now I don't understand it, this thread was reported by me hours ago https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1158604.0;topicseen which IMO should be moved to service discussion, and I think it was because of that report that my accuracy dropped, can anyone tell me what is "Beginner and help"-like topic in that?
You may think I'm making a fuss for nothing but my accuracy is valuable to me.

The report on that thread was still in the que until I just handled it. The one you got a bad report on was for suggesting the following be moved to Service Ann: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12561927

Can you get banned or in problems if you report a lot of posts and you are wrong, like having a 10% accuracy with 100 posts reported.

No. Maybe you might get banned if you were purposely spamming or trolling the report que with nonsense but I haven't seen it yet. You'd most likely just have a very bad accuracy score.

Terminated.

Here's a friendly advice and a example of how I've been reporting threads in the wrong section (when I'm unsure where they should be). Let's say a thread was made in Meta.
I report the thread with the comment:" This should not be in Meta (move to appropriate section)". I don't think that I ever got one of those marked as bad. The trick is properly writing out the comment and you're good to go.

Depends on the mod, most will probably mark it as good because you noticed that a thread is in the wrong section. Its hard to tell since I write many reports and my percentage does not change, but I see some threads I reported go to a different section and I think I would notice bad reports.

Correct. I've seen people sometimes report a post stating "off topic" even though it was spam or vice verse (just one of many examples). I usually mark them as good.

I don't think so, no. I'd say that it would be very hard to get such a low accuracy without intentionally spamming with bad reports. My accuracy was always very high even before I completely understood the forum rules. If you are not good at reporting (under 50%), then just stop doing it. No harm can come from that.

Oh, I noticed that as well that they mostly mark it as good but got a drop in my reporting accuracy today as one reported thread was moved to another section , other than what I commented to , and seems that report is marked as a bad one. Anyway thanks for the answer.

Yeah it happens. I would not worry too much about it, you will get better over time even if your percentages no longer change. Many mods use the "moved: ..." function that lets you know where a thread was moved. It helps a lot to learn which topic goes into which section. Esp. since its not easy to decide for all topics.

Lets say I report a post, the thread/post should be moved but my comment on it is incorrect, will my report count as successful or not?

Depends. If you report "this thread is in the wrong section" but was moved to the correct section due to another report chances are hight that a mod will mark it as bad report. If you report "this thread should be in X", but was moved to X due to another report most mods would mark it as good.

I think you didn't quite understand what I meant. What I meant is, a Faucet thread is placed in beginners and help and I report the thread and comment "Should be moved to investors based games"(hypothetically) and the thread gets moved to Micro earnings , will my report count as good?

Oh, I understand now.
