Probably because of the promised but not delivered reporter badges. I know that I, personally was reporting a lot more with the promise of a nice, shiny badge by my name.
Potentially, I know there was a lot of excitement when they proposed. I think we might see some sort of implementations in the future regarding reporting badges, and no that's not insider knowledge that's just my personal feeling. I can't remember the explanation given on why they were pulled, but I assume it was time. I mean, just looking over the thread right now, and there's users there looking pretty excited that I haven't seen actively reporting, although I don't get to see every report, usually when someone is reporting a lot of posts they'll report a newbie every so often.
Found it.
Sorry for the wait, when I went to implement this it ended up being quite a bit more of a can of worms than I originally thought because of opting out, preventing certain report-count-padding strategies, etc. It's still on my to-do list, but there are several things above it.
I wonder if there is a user on the forum who has sent 100 000 reports or more? I have seen the maximum result of 67 000 so far.
Probably. I was sent a figure in my personal message, which I believe was a significant number at the time, and that's going back a while. I'd say there's a few users approaching the 100k mark. Although, since reporting has become less than before, that might not be the case.
