Idea

[Leetzgirl]

There a addon,

That only one person can report one post

so for ect, if i report Jake post above me, none else can becasue me (i) have already reported the post,

if action gets taken then it means i get a rep point.

so it not really bad, and cant be abused :S.

but i dont like the rep idea anyways lol

Yeah but then the moderation manager will never know who's doing it to aid the moderation members or people greedy for reputation points

I do not see this as a realistically viable idea. The incentive to report posts should be to keep the forum safe and report serious rule breaking. That should be enough really. Also those perhaps who are looking for appointment to the Moderation Department know that reporting posts shows initiative
and good/bad judgment depending on what posts they report.

The system you propose would be extremely labour intensive and only a rep editor would be able to police it? Also this could lead to an enormous back log of reported posts for the mods to deal with. Reported posts are all about quality and not quantity. Mods are not interested in the odd pointless post or off-topic they are interested in the more serious rule breaking such as avoiding the filter badly and somebody being very offensive and insulting as an example. This could really hinder them dealing with the harder rule breaking as the post reports forum could well be clogged up with reports of minor and things that are not urgent which can be dealt with in due course.
