That's so kind of you that when you realise that you mistakenly marked a report as bad, you contact the reporting guy to explain them everything about the situation. But besides that, I'd also like to know that if you find something bad yourself (not a report but a post),

Yeah. If another moderator disagrees with my reasoning, they can mark it bad like any other user's report. I've had a few duplicate reports marked as bad recently. I'm thinking about writing a basic userscript to prevent that. It might have to be an extension though, so I'll have to take a look at that in the holiday break so it's ready for the new year. I have plans to streamline my moderation workflow, and hopefully that means I can more efficiently moderate.

do you also have the ability to click on 'report to moderator' and delete it right away? If yes, and you do not get that request to delete the post, will other mods give their take and mark yours as bad if they think that according to them, the post does not deserve to be deleted?

I could just delete it without reporting it, at least if it's within my jurisdiction. Other than that, I can report posts normally in other sections out of my jurisdiction.

Are the sections of the forum classified between all the moderators and each moderator is assigned to specific areas of which all the reports will be sent to that specific moderator only? Or are the reports made, sent to more than one moderator at a time?

More than one. Dedicated moderators within that section, as well as admins, and global moderators will recieve the report. Also, if it's a new user, then patrollers i.e those that receive new user reports, would be able to see it in their report queue.

Flying Hellfish was mod before Welsh who appeared in ~July 2018 (like me, but I think I was appointed mod after Welsh).
Mole0815 appears in January 2020. And no new mods since.

Thanks for breaking sweat to explain this. We learn everyday. So, in that order, Flying Hellfish was even the oldest employed among them. Now I know this. Moving forward, I like to know what became of the user. They've been inactive for over a year now. Well, I sincerely hope they're ok. It's the same way I noticed TMAN has been inactive too (but) for a longer period.

I'm sure Flying Hellfish was the last mod added as the process that led to their employment was advertised. I guess that should be in 2019 or so, can't be sure of the date any more. I ain't sure mole0815 or Welsh got in after 2019. Well, sadly I don't know what became of the user. I haven't seen more of them online. I just checked their profile now and the dude was last active on July 13, 2021.

Flying Hellfish was or is moderator for longer than Welsh, I have no doubt about it. In my mind Welsh was the latest addition.

I made a small investigation with the elements I have at disposal (Staff section).

Flying Hellfish was mod before Welsh who appeared in ~July 2018 (like me, but I think I was appointed mod after Welsh).
Mole0815 appears in January 2020. And no new mods since.
But where I think there is confusion is that Welsh was first appointed mod for the Altcoins sections, then he replaced the former mod of the spanish section (and that must have been after Mole0815 was appointed).

So if we come from oldest to newest then:
[...there are many...], Flaying Hellfish, [...there are many...], Welsh or you, and Mole0815.

In any case Mole is the latest addition which can be told clearly. For some reason I had Welsh in mind as our latest mod.

To add to halab's post: Most of the boards have dedicated moderators. For example, "Bitcoin Discussion" is moderated by hilariousandco and "Development & Technical Discussion" is moderated by gmaxwell and achow101.

Duplicate reports for all posts reported 2 or more times or do the moderators also check the reason for reporting? If I report a post for one reason, but then I realize it's wrong or might not be good enough to get the post deleted, I might find a second rule violation why the post could be deleted. If I report that post a second time, but explaining this other reason and maybe mentioning why the first report isn't sufficient, will my report still be marked as bad?

Generally yeah, but that would be more so because the initial report was bad, and you've corrected it. So, the correct report would be handled good (hopefully Tongue

), and the bad report, would be marked bad. If they're both technically correct, and you've reported them twice with different reasons, personally I'd probably mark that as good, however your mileage might vary with that one, since other moderators might see it different.

I personally treat a duplicate report as exactly that; a duplicate meaning same post, as well as explanation or if you haven't put anything in the report reason field on both. I always check the reason a user has reported another user, it's literally what I focus on the most, not who reported it, or the title of the thread. In fact, I've modified my report queue to reduce the size of the title of threads, since generally it's not very useful.

I think let's not put too much attention to a bad or good reports. If you are like me then I don't even care to report. I like my time here. But if you are like some huge reporters then the bad reports will be just a drop of the ocean.

I don't care about the report statistics, but I am curious how certain things are handled. Like this particular case that I mentioned. In my opinion, if report reason #1 is wrong, it should be market as bad. But that shouldn't automatically mark report #2 as bad as well. If, of course, reason #2 is reported correctly.

About me reporting or not. I do report whenever I come across something that shouldn't be there. But I don't even have 1000 reports to my name.

Yeah, duplicate reports are generally marked as bad. I know, I've recently picked some up myself Cheesy

. It's not a big deal, it happens from time to time. Unless, you're using an addon to keep track, you probably will make that mistake quite a few times.

Some might ask why are you even allowed to report the same post multiple times, but it has it's uses sometimes. For example, when you've discovered new information, and basically want to update it. You might still get a bad report for that, but at the end of the day that's a drop in the ocean.

Is there a repercussion if that happened?

Yeah, I do think a few opinions of prominent users carry more weight than they probably realise themselves. However, I do understand their point of view.

Maybe even more than you think, because these are the same people for whom the majority votes in the current competition. Unfortunately, advocating that the "ignore" button is a much better option than the "report to moderator" button sends a very clear message to everyone else who wonders if they are really wasting their time.

Time actually moves very fast. The time you were appointed as moderator which was known from some threads of-course, feels like only from yesterday. The forum members don't get much update about administrational activities (we don't need to as well) so we have no way to know unless anyone is checking status of moderators on different boards for their own interest.

Everyone has the right to their opinion, but some prominent members of this community have marked this activity as a waste of time, which must have had an impact on other members.

I don't think that's the case, ultimately you're giving your time to report something for the better of the community, if we've messed up on our end or you don't agree with it I'd like to hear it. Even, when we can't reach an agreement, it's nice to know what users think about x report.

Yeah, I do think a few opinions of prominent users carry more weight than they probably realise themselves. However, I do understand their point of view. Although, we aren't perfect, and there certainly could be more of us in particular sections of the forum, and I do think some of the concerns they bring up are valid. Ultimately though, the decision comes down to theymos on when we need more moderators, and when a particular issue becomes a big enough issue to decide to correct.

As long as the malware is gone...

, there will always be spam as long as the forum exists. One spam ends (thanks to the reporters and moderators), another one appears. Ended (for now) malware spam, new spam appeared. Only registered newbies are posting PayWallet payment system ads. It is interesting that they write in Russian in English-language topics.

Right. Many of us were reporting for years for free before being selected. I did the majority of my reporting over a two year period I believe, but I was reporting fairly early on. I'd still be willing to moderate for free if the forum ever decided that's what's best, obviously the payment we recieve is greatly appreciated.

It is easy to determine whether it is due to an active member or due to a decrease in the spam rate in the forum.
I remember there was a user who used an AI bot or something similar to identify plagiarism and because of him hundreds of accounts were banned.
So by reading the reporter username, you can get a general statistic.

That's only as good as the data you feed it. If you aren't feeding it all the data, it won't know identify everything, just as we can't pinpoint the exact cause. Although, as I said it's probably a combination of all the above I mentioned, as well as some metrics which aren't easy to measure. We can only work with public data, after all.

The spam has definitely decreased from peak 2017/2018 levels, that's for definite.

Is the reason why some have given up on mass reports that they don't want to waste time on something that they have no personal use for, or are people just tired and leave that work to someone else?

I don't know for sure, but the bumping changes in the Altcoin section resulted in less users being exposed to the spam. The spam still exists, it just isn't noticed as much. The reduced activity has, and will always result in less reports, since there's less things to report as you correctly pointed out.

The other thing; I've noticed some users getting a little disgruntled on getting bad reports or them staying unhandled. So, they've reduced their reporting activity, which is a shame. I do get why they would be frustrated by that, but it's not always that the report hasn't been seen it's just been chosen by those that have reviewed it that it was either bad or was better to stay unhandled.

Also, the merit system probably has reduced the amount of users, and also means that a lot of the spammers stay new users, and therefore get picked up by the patrollers. Since there's more patrollers than dedicated moderators usually.

Either the forum has drastically improved in the sense that there is less spam, or the most active ones have given up on their mission to clean the forum of all garbage. I would still say that it is the latter, although every bear market causes less activity on the forum, so that should also be taken into account.

As long as the malware is gone or at least been trashed, that's what we're here for. I'm not bothered if someone takes my reports, I think that's the wrong attitude to have. When it comes to malware especially, that just needs to be dealt with as soon as possible to mitigate the damage. Hence, sometimes I just move it to the trash can when I can't nuke the user myself, and then allow the global moderators to see the report, and deal with it.

My impressions are probably wrong and there must be the case that sometimes I must steal reports from other sections by nuking an user. But it doesn't matter, I've got used to believe that the secrets of Theymos are unpredictable

How do mods get report notifications, are they in the form of tables or individually.
How are they arranged?

Depending on the time of report.
the user who report.
who is reported,.
Topic/reply.

Can mods delete spam posts that are not reported? if global mod report it as bad then it reported again too many time can ignore users reports?

Most recent reports show up first. Yeah, we see who reported the post, but honestly I don't really pay much attention to that. In fact, I've even hidden it in the past using a user script. Though, a feature was introduced earlier this year I believe, that made me switch that off.

Yeah, it shows who is reported, and it shows the thread title. Then on hovering over that you can see the post ID. I've got a slightly modified report queue on my end via user scripts though which make it a little easier to digest.

I'd love to see something done to the report queue to get it more efficient though. Although, reporting has died down a lot over the recent months, at least for myself.

Yeah, I go into it a little more below, but most of the actions I've taken in the last few months have been through doing it myself rather than acting upon reports. Although, I've also been away, so this closing to the year has been a little sporadic from my point of view.

It can depend. I don't have many reports per month and the french section is not the most active, so most of my mod actions are done without a report.
Given the mass of reports, a GM must probably act mainly via the reports and a little bit on the sections he follows more regularly. And it can depend on the GM.

As of recently, I'd say the majority of my actions are non reported ones. I'd be interested in seeing what the percentages would be, although it would be heavily skewed as a few users earlier in the year went on a reporting spree. The last few months have been a little different though, definitely.

I find your lack of faith in Bitcoin disturbing.

Mods see reports from the sections they are assigned to.
For example, as a moderator of the french section, I only see reports made in the french section. And I don't see the reports made in the German section, Meta or other sections.
GMs and admins see all reports.

Technically, not all reports will be handled the same even if it's for the same post. Since, the reporters might be reporting for a different reason to another. One could be reporting for the wrong section, but technically not be correct, and another might be reporting for a duplicate thread, and could be right in doing so.

If several people were to report the same post, some might end up with a bad grade. Saw it a few times, luckily accuracy remains at 100.

One could be reporting for the wrong section, but technically not be correct, and another might be reporting for a duplicate thread, and could be right in doing so.

So, it's case by case. However, as correctly pointed out, generally if they're being reported for the exact same reason they will all be handled the same. Sometimes, a moderator might just delete a report, and not bother checking individual reports of the same report, since they're handling it in the order it pops up in their report queue. It's probably best from a moderators point of view to check all duplicate reports for the reasoning's, but unless you have a user script to bunch them up, this isn't always obvious since by default the report queue doesn't behave in such a way.

So if its good everybody that has reported it gets a good report and so is it the same with a bad one or unhandled report !

All reports that are made for a post won't necessarily have the same status.
If a report is marked as bad, that doesn't mean all other reports are bad too. Moderators should handle other reports manually. It's possible that there's a good report among them.

It will be handled for all that have reported the post or the thread the same !

You dont have to be worried to report posts , so more a post or thread gets reported i guess its better and maybe it will be faster handled.

As NeuroticFish has written it will be a bad one for you if you reporting a post twice , was and happens sometimes to me also Cheesy

Self explanatory title. As it says, what will the status of the report when two person report the same post? Assume, I have reported a post after someone else have reported. What will be my report status? Will it be unhandled for the person who reported later or it be same as the previous reporter?

1. I am almost sure it's considered good for all the reporters if it's handled. Just make sure you don't report something you have already reported.
2. I think that in some cases (like plagiarism) it may even happen that it's handled only after multiple reports.

Your report status will depend on moderator's action.
If the post is deleted, all the reports made for that post are marked as good. Otherwise, the moderators should handle all the reports one by one.

For more information, read the post made by halab before.
