Lets assume 97.0000% of these are correct, thats 1843 correct and 57 not. In order to reach 97.5% (I assume thats when 98% will be shown) he would have to make 2223 total correct reports vs 57 bad. Thats 380 good reports without fail.
Accuracy is always rounded down IIRC, so it'll take even longer.
People shouldn't worry about accuracy much, and certainly not single percentage points.
Had that in mind as well.
The report to moderator button, when activated, says,
"Use this function to inform the moderators and administrators of an abusive or wrongly posted message."
Is "abuse" reportable?
Depends on your definiton of abuse. Anything that is against forum rules.
Is this report button also for off topic and zero or low value posts? (if so, why does it not say)
Yes, but sometimes the bigger picture needs to be painted. In this case a PM to a global mod or admin might be better.
What sort of posts are people reporting?
The majority of my reports are threads in wrong sections. Which makes the "Im no snitch" comment hilarious.
Looks like you have answers to that in your thread already. What is constructive and what is spam are tricky questions that may not always have an easy answer.
