Ratimov was also very active with reports back than, not sure if he also used any tools or not, but he made reports mostly in his local board.
I remember him explicitly saying that he didn't us any tools for all those hundreds of thousands of reports that he made (or whatever was the number) but who knows was that really the case since his numbers were crazy.


Frankly I don't know why I bother doing the reports, other than it gives me a personal satisfaction to see absolutely shitty posts get deleted. Bonus satisfaction points if they would have counted toward that week's sig campaign payment.
Same here, but I have to say that it gives me less and less satisfaction meaning I am nowhgere as active on the reporting scene as I was.

Aside from that, it'd sure be nice if Theymos did another stat dump.  People who report bad posts are the unsung heroes of this forum, who basically get almost no recognition whatsoever, and yet they serve an incredibly important function.  I won't hold my breath for any data from Theymos, but the top reporters deserve it IMO.

I agree that the publication of these statistics would be a kind of thank you to all those who work in the background to make the forum a better and more pleasant place for all who visit it as members and as guests. I don't know the real reason why the admin doesn't do it anymore, but if it's just a lack of time, can that task be transferred to the global moderator @hilariousandco who is active in the posting Monthly Report Statistics?

If I remember correctly, he used some automation tools to make it faster to report shitposts.
These tools can be what he used.

[HACK] One-click mod report, not for the faint of heart
[Userscript] Report to moderator on post history

I remember Ratimov used to have very high active time daily, like a sleepless users when he was addictive with reports old posts.

Same here, but I think it makes forum just a little bit easier to use for me, at least for boards that I usually visit.
I certainly wouldn't spend hours reporting posts every day just so that I could have reporters badge, but it would be cool if theymos could release fresh list of top reporters.

If only we could see their face after they see their posts disappear Cheesy
My evil side still wants to Merit a user right before he gets banned for plagiarism, just to make it hurt a bit more.

That's why the idea of reporter badge images is almost 6 years old. How time flies!

I still like the idea, and of the badge being optional. I'm not sure I would even qualify for one, but to wear the badge "with pride" just seems like something that this guy would be doing:

That is one report every 10 mins, 7 days a week. (assuming 8 hours sleep per day)

Edit:  Been watching this for five minutes.   Dude just does not take a break!

Uhh....actmyname hasn't been active since January, and I'm not too sure he's been active much at all in at least a year as I can't remember the last time I saw a post from him.  I'm pretty sure he isn't reporting posts--or is he?  Can you make reports without the system updating your 'last active' date?  And if so, why would he be doing that?

Aside from that, it'd sure be nice if Theymos did another stat dump.  People who report bad posts are the unsung heroes of this forum, who basically get almost no recognition whatsoever, and yet they serve an incredibly important function.  I won't hold my breath for any data from Theymos, but the top reporters deserve it IMO.

I personally have nothing against it, and it would be interesting to see who are those who still find some time to make the forum a better place for everyone else.
For sure it would be nice to see some statistics of the past years from 2021 and 2022.
There are so many that hit the " Report to Moderator " without notice them , but also there are also a lot that lets say to lazy for doing it.
I have seen in the last weeks there a few new Users have started reporting , i havnt stoped doing it so its now 6 years i report.
Its a Art to animate others.

In addition to this request, I would also like to ask theymos if he can publish the statistics for 2021 and 2022. Since OP was created, no other update was provided, thus statistics for all years since 2020 would be useful to see...

I have already written before, but it is worth repeating, considering that some members think that such things are not a priority for the admin, maybe it is something completely different. Some members were not really thrilled with the idea of their report statistics being published publicly, and how to publish something that should be partially censored?

Speaking of spam megathreads, it's really, really unfortunate that Bitcoin Discussion seems to still be one of the sections that hosts many of them (although I've un-ignored it recently). 
If you go through first 2 pages of Bitcoin Discussion you will find less than 5 spam megathreads, meaning that's not the main problem there. Instead, much bigger problem (imho) are loads of low effort redundant shittopics and instead people reporting them for what they are, they rather use them to dump their signature quota. Then again, mods could just check that board once or twice per day and just nuke those kind of topics instead waiting to get reported, like its usually done in other forums.


I wonder how he handled the fact that he could not delete that type of forum contribution
If he could he would probably bring back all those reported posts, since he was really set on removing everything that he did around here.

Can we get Top reporters statistics for 2023?

In addition to this request, I would also like to ask theymos if he can publish the statistics for 2021 and 2022. Since OP was created, no other update was provided, thus statistics for all years since 2020 would be useful to see...

If I remember correctly, Ratimov had really impressive statistics here, I think over 100k reports. I wonder how he handled the fact that he could not delete that type of forum contribution.
Or maybe he managed to restore all the posts deleted because of his report  Roll Eyes

Motivations have changed over time - but maybe, we tend to have a harder time finding bad posters when we ignore megathreads more often.


I had a period where one of the three posts that I reported remained unhandled. And it is obvious spam. This had the greatest effect on my motivation because I had the impression that it was just a waste of time, both mine and the moderators.

Yep--I lost my motivation almost completely after Theymos created the merit system, since that seemed to reduce the motivation for idiots to continue shitposting.  There was a time when I'd visit those spam megathreads and spend an hour or two just going through them and reporting all the nonsense, no-value crap to the mods.  Usually I'd pick up on some alt accounts, too.
The Skeptical Chymist - would you mind correcting your quote, something seems wrong.

Previously - I also had the same habit of trying to find bad posters. I've purposely taken the time to go page after page in a some thread only to find posts that have no value or are completely useless to report on - but as time goes by, that habit has become rare on my part.

I'm a little tired of it all because it feels like a responsibility - so I just report less often than before because I'm no longer digging for it in the trash pile. I still really want to do it with no strings attached - that's the contribution I can make to the forum even though my reporting accuracy percentage has dropped to 99%.

I know it isn't top priority for him, but it'd be nice to acknowledge the members who help keep the forum clean and do it for free and with nearly no recognition.
Something done behind the scenes will likely go unrecognized – even if they have spent countless hours contributing. I would also like to thank those who take the time to keep the forum clean - they are warriors.

Nothing like a bit of motivation for long time reporters and newbies !!

And yeah, I'd like to see some data on the current top reporters.  Theymos gave us what, two reports in total?  I know it isn't top priority for him, but it'd be nice to acknowledge the members who help keep the forum clean and do it for free and with nearly no recognition.

Congrats to the top reporters!  Too bad there hasn't been a "top reporter" badge created yet.  Even Theymos thinks it's important to the forum, so why not give at least the top 5-10 members a little something for their effort?
It's definitely not easy ( no sarcasms) to get some junk post reported - For the fact that I'm not as regular as the above mentioned, I think they deserve something...

was it really necessary to gaslight me? Yes...  Do I really care about it? Not at all... Afterall, your name says it all...

AFAIK, making the ''Report to moderator" button a routine is a different ball game entirely. I'm startled by how much people could make accurate reports - as high as the numbers on code...

Maybe I believe theymos is working underway to get the best reporter so far,  but we must also consider as time goes people has also advance and enhanced their ways of communication except for the newly registered individual and most of these newbies often stick within their local boards where they got proper orientation.

Typical example is my local board I have learned to see lot of people improving greatly and asking more about how to develop themselves to be creative and useful to the forum, so even though there would be reports from my LB it might be very little and let's consider if other board adopting same method there is every possibility to eliminate spam across the english board and local boards, _BlackStar is correct.

Motivations have changed over time - but maybe, we tend to have a harder time finding bad posters when we ignore megathreads more often. I sent a lot of reports to moderators throughout 2023 - but my motivation dropped a bit in early 2024. I don't often dive too deep into megathread these days anyway, so that probably kept me or some other reporters from coming across bad posts.

Of course - as time goes by, my motivation will come back and find more bad posts to report, but this will probably become less common as more users start to change their posting patterns and improve the quality of their posts. Their motivation is about - getting lots of merit and joining the signature campaign.
