If I have reported 20 posts and one of them I see I've reported it twice, it would be nice to have an option to cancel this report.
This saves the time of the mods to go trough and spears you a "bad report" ( no, i don't care so much about the bad reports).
It can be even with a cool down time of like 30 sec., It's enough if you make a mistake to correct it.

A very good idea, but I think there is no point in cool down time (especially in such a short).
At the moment I have 6 unhandled reports, I know that their cause has already been eliminated (they were made more than six months ago). I would like to remove them, but it seems that they will hang now forever.

I am not sure how difficult it would be to implement, but I do accidentally report posts from time to time. This could be useful.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, happens to the best of us.

I'm not saying I'm in the "best of us" category, but that's definitely happened to me before (multiple times) and I recall wishing each time exactly what OP is suggesting, a way to cancel reports. While it's not critical, it would be a good feature to have especially if it wouldn't take much effort to implement--and I don't know exactly what it would take, but I'm assuming it wouldn't be a big deal for Theymos to do.

Yep, I do remember this being brought up before. But as with most suggestions, it was discussed and then nothing was done about it.

Oh boy I'd definitely like this option. Sometimes, after a night of heavy drinking, I decide to read a few threads on Bitcointalk for a few minutes before I go to bed. It has already happened like around 3 times already that instead of giving 1 merit to certain posts, for some reason my drunk brain instead makes me click on the report button and type the "1" there instead.

Yep.

Do not worry about your accuracy too much; one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports.

I always get this as back up whenever I reported so I worry not at all about it.

Even so, I think it is a good idea since we can make mistakes too. But how about if it has been already seen by a mod but hasn't been marked yet? I think it will be good too if you'd see your report history and in there you'll see if it has been seen already or not (the cancel button should still be there if it hasn't been seen yet by a mod) if it has been seen then let it slip then the mods will take care of the status of it. Though I don't think it's possible on the current forum I think this might be a nice feature on epochtalk forum.

I think there should be a field to give an explanation to certain reports as well. Some people won't know why something was marked as bad, especially if it was a dupe and one was good and the other not.

that would definitely be a great feature.
maybe the wish will be heard and at the latest with the new software there is something like that... so far i try to answer all questions/confirmations/remarks about reports via pn. of course it would be great for all involved if this could be handled directly in the portal of the repots.

@iasenko
basically a good idea and that would be a relief for everyone. maybe not so much effort to implement it with the additional "cancel" button.
but i think there are many other topics on the list with little features that it's hopeless.

I think it's been requested before and would be a good idea. I don't usually mark dupe reports as bad unless it's something they do all the time and mistakes and double sending do happen. I think there should be a field to give an explanation to certain reports as well. Some people won't know why something was marked as bad, especially if it was a dupe and one was good and the other not. I don't know how much theymos want to do on this current forum but it's something I hope is on the new one.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, happens to the best of us. In some cases I have PMed the mod of the board after making an erroneous report that could waste a significant amount of mod's time (e.g. on plagiarism), or if I reported something completely ridiculous due to getting lost in my tabs - so that they didn't think I'm completely off my rocker Grin

. I don't think this is a major issue needing a new feature.
