We are all agree that people who reports without expecting any reward is highly valuable, but there wont be much of them to fight against spam later, when new users always coming and increasing, what will happen when spammer is growing faster than the valuable people here? The percentage of spam covered by reports will be decreasing.

I am not saying resetting is the way, but the idea is continuity, after you reach some awareness. Make people dont stop when they have the highest level. This is one of what we needed to do if we want to change the forum and make the forum less spammy.

Resetting the count doesn't make sense. It would be like resetting merit if you haven't earned any within 6 months. Or reducing activity if you haven't logged in within a certain period of time. Using the reset as a motivator would just implicate too many restrictions on the user, which would become a huge demotivated nuisance, as you're saying that you'll be taking away a user's rewards for something they've already accomplished.

Yeah but 1 thing you might forget is, report can be spammed in a day, not based on something hard like quality (merit) and time (activity). So it is kinda easy to achieve the badge I believe. Once again, I'm not saying resetting count is the way.

My idea:
1. 300 good reports - notebook and 1 pencil (pen/stylus)
http://i103.fastpic.ru/big/2018/0808/ec/fe081b98dfab9f81d946dc8938addbec.jpg

2. 1000 good reports - notebook and 2 pencil (pen/stylus)
http://i100.fastpic.ru/big/2018/0808/b8/a6a5e9a3c6f828ca8cc7465871a09bb8.jpg

3. 5000 good reports - notebook and 3 pencil (pen/stylus)
http://i103.fastpic.ru/big/2018/0808/04/83abfc9ac348cb3de48c9bbfbd7dc504.jpg

I doubt we need additional motivation for people who otherwise don't care about the forum enough to report spam. Just like the sig-bounty "motivation" to create shitposts this would just cause new headaches. It's a recognition badge for people who are already motivated and let's leave it at that.

I didn't really think that motivation was the idea here. I thought it was about raising awareness. I know I used the forum for a long time before I ever thought about using the report button and I would think many others are the same. People that don't like spam are going to see that badge and that might be enough to make them think 'oh, I'm supposed to do that'.

For that to work the badge perhaps should link to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-reporting-effectively-4519248

People only need another push =] to join the signature campaign you need to have :
- at least 25 merit
- a tier 2 reporter badge
Another option is : you will get extra bucks for the previous two!

Too late

Anyway, mods seems enjoying more reports, no?

Indeed. Most of my reports are less than 6 months ago tho. After theymos announcement I add approx 10% more reports.
Prefer to stick in reporting and tagging duplicated topics & necro posting in the press section and sometimes take a look on alternate cryptocurrency and few local subs (abandoned some of it due to very active or totally inactive mods...)
Edit : oops I just checked the inactive mod and he got "fired".

People who already reporting without expecting any reward, I think are much more valuable than the the people that gonna hunt only for the badges/ranks.
The first ones really want to make a change but the second ones are only for "the game".
Resering the score will motivate the "gamers" but the other will be left out I a way.

What I want to say is, it's a good thing if theymos make a system that has a continuity for this reporting system, so users will be motivated to report, even if they dont like it so much. LoyceV's idea of adding new rank when lot of people already have the highest rank is great. It is a form of continuity too, my idea is resetting counts per certain time, maybe like per 6 months or per year.

Not really. There's a couple of users who have just started frantically spamming the report queue recently with hundreds of reports a day probably because theymos announced the possibility of merit badges. It's clear some of them are actually just looking for things to report because they're reporting old threads that haven't been posted in for ages just to be 'locked' or spam posts from ages ago. Just saw one report from January on a spam post. Is that really essential? Nobody will see or miss that post whether it's there or not. Do I really need to waste my time deleting hundreds of posts long buried in a bounty thread? All it does is swamp the queue with things that are either going to take a long time to handle or not get handled at all and increases the chances of us missing something important that needs handling urgently.

There probably should be two report buttons or two queues or something. One for urgent things and the other one for sig spam or whatever. Maybe there could be dedicated mods/patrollers that handle the sig spam etc. There's thousands of spammers and bots making thousands of posts so it's never-ending.

@LoyceV and @esmanthra

Well, looking at hillariousetc's reply, i believe the increasing number is not 100% people who report to make this forum less spammy than before, because they start when this idea comes up. I believe you guys understand too that there are many people would report post to have something shiny under their name (especially when it gives some feature), and the fact that we can report so many times in a day make it easier, people will spam it and moderators will be flooded with reports from users. Affter they reach the finish line, some of them will stop reporting spam.

What I want to say is, it's a good thing if theymos make a system that has a continuity for this reporting system, so users will be motivated to report, even if they dont like it so much. LoyceV's idea of adding new rank when lot of people already have the highest rank is great.

if this idea that we are talking about will give some benefit/merit/feature to a user, then they will stop after they reach at a certain level

Am I right assuming that you suggest to set their counters to zero in order to spur their interest? I'd rather believe then that these users would be demotivated.
In fact if someone already does that for some sort of reward, he (or she) is already unreliable. As for the rest I doubt that we need anything since they do that for better reasons. IMO badge is just a way to distinguish the most diligent, not to stimulate something.

Logging in to the forum and watching this thread. I am worried if this has been mentioned by the others, because I can not read all replies in this thread, but, how do you guys think if the user's report counts reset at a certain time? I suggest this because if this idea that we are talking about will give some benefit/merit/feature to a user, then they will stop after they reach at a certain level. Well i believe some will stop after they reach some level even if they dont have a benefit/merit/feature by reporting the spam except the badge.

If you're only reporting posts for a badge, and not because you hate spam on the forum, you're doing it for the wrong reasons.
Adding a higher ranking badge would be a better solution if you want people to be challenged again.

Not sure why I missed this thread bit I think it’s a great idea by theymos. Quickly looking at my reporting stats I see that I have 96% accuracy & 157 ‘good’ reports. I still have some way to reach the 300 good reports.

Looks good initiatives.
By the way, I am a little bit curious on who will count the report threads, especially valid report threads?
Will the forum have a new bot to do this or this task will do manually by forum staffs?

The magical forum elves who tally up your post count and activity on the fly. That shit isn't all automatic you know.

Quote from: Arrrvin on August 05, 2018, 04:25:17 AM

Strange reply. To me, and most people, the difference between condoms and bells are clear. Most social media platforms also use bell symbols. Have you ever mistaken those for condoms?

Not that it must be bells, but like everyone else here I'm just adding suggestions.

A bell end is slang for the head of a penis because it resembles a bell. It's probably a British term so not surpsing if the joke went over your head.

What do you imply by "report threads"?
If you mean the actual reports, then they're already being counted automatically somewhere in the forum depths (you can see the result on "Report to moderator" page if your number of good reports exceeds 25).
If you mean topics where someone posts evidences of violations (for example), then I doubt that they generally need to be counted.

He's just asking who will count all the reports a user makes. Obviously it will be automatic.

I like the shields best so far because they symbolize protection.

Better even would be bells because they may symbolize bell-ringers.

I leave the design with others as there are clearly more talented.

So do condoms. Which protect bell-ends, so maybe combine them both and have some little rubber johnny icons:
