Thread Reporting Velocity

[SEO]

I will often open all of the spammy threads that I see in the recent threads list and begin reporting them. One of the problems I run into is the delay on actions.

It would be great if there were a way that the forum could decrease the amount of needed wait time based on something (number of posts, number of likes/post ratio, % of confirmed threads reported as spam, etc).

At the moment, I just wait for the time to expire, but if I have to report 5 threads, that can take a fair amount of wait time and if I move on to something else and I forget, then the thread might not be reported for a lot longer.

I know having this velocity increase mechanism in place could leave it open for someone to abuse it, but I think the amount of benefit you'd get from it overall would out-weigh the few times someone would abuse it each month/year. Just thought I'd make this suggestion as I would think you'd not want to deter people from reporting threads (for the most part).


I know the timer above is only on 2 seconds, but that's because I decided to take a screenshot a bit after I got the error, so I triggered it again.

We're working on a tool to give more privlages to those that report correctly Ie which specific rule is being broken, currently it's a manual process. Excessive incorrect reporting already carries penalties.

Speaking of forum abuse, using the white theme is as bad as it gets. Reported.

Lol. The black theme murders my eyes when jumping between all of the sites I'm always on. That and the black with neon text colors people like to use.

When you say "bad as it gets" please clarify your opinion. What makes it "bad" in your opinion?

Well it's black hat world with a white theme. Black Hat world is meant to be black.

Then use the default black theme?
Theme selection is in the bottom left of your screen.
