The report feature should really have some multiple preset options,
in addition to the "enter comment:" field.
I've noticed that you often have to report content for the same reason.
For example, when I'm going through Bitcoin Discussion, I can usually find multiple threads for reporting where I just leave the same comment: 'Wrong board, move to Speculation board' (anything involving price speculation)
Wouldn't it be easier to have a couple of these options to choose from when you're reporting these posts?
Some examples:
- Wrong board, move to $subforum (selectable in a dropdown list for example)
- Plagiarism + Source field
- Low quality thread/reply
These are just a couple of examples that popped in my head, I'm sure that there are a lot more possible preset options out there
I think that with these preset options, some people would be more inclined to report just because they can already see what kind of 'violations' there are.
It would take out some ambiguity of the whole reporting process and it also just makes it easier to report the same type of rule-breaking content.
Also, for moderators it might just become easier to go through reports, if the reports adhere to a little bit of standardization for the clear-cut cases.
Let me know what you think! Is it too much work for too little change? Or would this be something useful for people who are active reporters/moderators?
