Is it not time to update the list of reports then?
People have asked for it already in the past.
I can see all of a user's reports, but I can't generate reports like that on the fly.
So theymos is the only one who can do that?
I'm sure he is a very busy man, but since it is 'on the fly' can't he do it once again? It's been a long time since that list was published.
AFAIK only mods with direct access to the database can query it so the stats are easily generated. IIRC sirius and probably satoshi have DB access as well, yet they are ... uhm... even busier than theymos.
While I keep asking for an update I perfectly understand that the priorities are on different subjects.

And yes. Mod ain't really fun, you should only want to go for it if you're passionate about it...though 95% of people who desperately want mod read warnings like this and disregard them thinking it's fun. After owning a MC server for quite some time I can testify you get to deal with a lot of idiots. You can probably see that from the Meta section, too.
Indeed, I used to be part of an admin team on several TF2 servers. When you think youll have a fun night with some good friends a bunch of idiots show up. The worst part is that you know how it will end for the majority, yet you still have to go through the warning stages. And after 15-60 minutes finally filing the ban reports in the database your friends played the match without you. It was still worth it though, servers (as well as boards) need someone (or better a team) to take care of them.

They get paid. A lot. Its a decent title to have I'd say. I'm surprised you aren't a mod since you're near the top of that list posted.
Are they?
As BadBear said reports are not everything. There has to be demand first of all.
