Compile Reports on 1 Thread/Comment into 1 Report

[Capaldi]

I just read this comment by Kram and had a thought. I am unsure if it's something that is possible, but I am making this suggestion just in case it is.

That really isn't that effective.
It makes the staff's job harder, in my opinion, to see a flood of reports come in when it could've been compiled into one report.

If it's possible, there should be something implemented to where if there's a lot of reports on one thread or one comment, it would be compiled into 1 report showing everyone who reported and the report reason. This way, when it is resolved, such as it being accepted or rejected, the staff can mark it as necessary and it would send the notification to everyone who made the report. (If the staff member chooses to notify the user or users)

Due to people likely using the report system to report people who aren't breaking rules, the staff member should state why the report was accepted or rejected, Such as;

• "This report is accepted because the user broke the following rule(s): (list rule number(s) here)"

This is so people who use the report system for no reason won't think their report was accepted when they reported it for a reason that did not break the rules. Although this won't stop people from abusing the report system, the staff can say that they informed the user.

Examples:
1. Person1 makes a comment that breaks the rules, several people report it and instead of it being several different reports, it'll be compiled into 1 report

2. Person1 makes a thread that breaks the rule, several people report the thread and instead of it being several different reports, it'll be compiled into 1 report

If my examples are confusing, let me know and I'll try my best to explain it better.

If it's the same content, i.e same comment, I believe it is compiled in the reports at least in my experience that's how it's been.

If it's multiple reports on a thread, those shouldn't be compiled into one because the reports are for different content and most likely for different reasons.

I have edited my thread with examples. By thread, I just meant the original post of the thread.

Yes, those reports are still compiled into one I believe as they are the same content.

I am not entirely sure on that part, one of the staff members will have to confirm that if/when they see this suggestion and feel like clarifying this for us.

As an ex-staff member, I can confirm that multiple reports on a single post/thread are compiled into 1 report.

As Bosny has said (and you can now confirm!), that is how our system currently works.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
