I have asked theymos for two report queues: one for important/urgent reports and another for sig spam or less important stuff because the report queue is getting filled with reports on sig spammers and it buries all the others so mods have to scroll through dozens and sometimes hundreds of reports just to find something that isn't sig spam related. There could either be two report buttons or a drop down menu with the most common rule infractions and that sorts them into importance somehow.
How does the report queue work, exactly? Is it paginated or would it be possible to just put out a blanket search term (e.g. via CTRL/CMD+F on browsers or editors)?
I could incorporate tags in my reports, or something like [P#] where you have prioritization from say # = [1, 4] in terms of ranking.
The reports are all on one page. There's just thousands of them right now and the ones on unsubstantial posts dwarf everything else.
Does it really matter?
It’s appreciated by all of us who post on the forum for the right reasons.
Personally, I don't think it matters all that much--and whether the reports are acted on or not, they certainly are appreciated. It's far better to have some reports unhandled than to not have them exist at all.
I have less than 100 unhandled reports out of more than 4000 total, so I'm not complaining at all and I don't care if the unhandled ones are 'soft-bads' or not, nor do I care much for my reporting accuracy. I probably would care if it was low, but it isn't. Actmyname is likely doing a very good job in spite of mods not taking care of all of his reports, and hopefully he'll keep it up regardless of how the reports are handled.
I wouldn't really look at as or call them 'soft bad'. Most of the time they're just left in the queue because no mod had decided to get involved for whatever reason. If they were truly a bad report then they'd likely be marked as so.

I mean, wouldn't you get anxious or even de-motivated when you report something and it doesn't get handled for days, and you don't even know why that's the case because mods can't and don't provide the explanation and why they haven't handled the report,or even if.
If reporting makes you anxious I'd probably find something else to do. You can usually work out what sort of stuff to bother reporting or not by how they're handled by a mod (if they are at all). If certain hings aren't getting handled then it's up to you whether you continue reporting them or not, but giving feedback on every report we don't handle would be a nightmare and take far more time than handling the report in the first place.
