I didn't mean to start this topic as a competition about the metric.  My concern is that I'm being shown that sometimes I'm innaccurate, but I can't really tell which of my reports were the innaccurate ones.  That seems a little broken.  Why tell me at all if I can't use the information to improve?
Well, the accuracy system is feedback, although it may not be as in-depth as you were hoping for it's not useless it does give you a general idea of how you are performing, overall. The thing is with providing a in-depth feedback system which would allow you to see what was rejected and what reason it was rejected for, could potentially be subjective.  Therefore, if you see that x post got rejected by one moderator, you might refrain from reporting it again which in the eyes of another moderator could be a correct report. At least that's my interpretation of one of the issues.

Although, most of the posts on this forum are pretty straightforward, there are a few which pop up which are subjective, for example you feel that the post in question is better suited in another section, however a moderator disagrees and feels it's best where it is.
