I'm not sure your post makes sense.

There's a bit of ambiguity to me:
1. Is a bad report one where you report someone and it gets flagged as bad
OR
2. Where you get reported and have your psots deleted.

The second is already in place with the autoban function (as far as I'm aware) if people make a few posts and are a new user and they get deleted within a certain time limit, they get autobanned. It's nice to look at on the seclog (although I'm not entirely sure if that is what it is or not - could just be hilariousandco clicking his smite button on a load of newb profiles and changing the type of ban to a fancier one Grin

)...

The first is probably a bad idea as theymos seems to want to encourage people to report a lot (as it says on the report to moderator page that it's alright to not have a high percentage).

Sorry for the misleading post, yesterday evening when I posted it seemed logical (i've been driving quite a lot and I was tired as hell) , but after reading it today, it was really misleading so I've edited it to be more clear.

The whole idea if you report someone's posts and those get deleted nothing else happens to him and he can have 1000000 deleted posts but still spamming.
If we put Evilness to the IP based on deleted posts by mods I think big part of those bots, which posts get deleted often can be reduced a lot.
Regarding the autoban function I had a discussion with a mod sometime ago:

It's not autoban...

OK, this is what I see in the modlog:

Quote

Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #782523
...
...
Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #2067403

What it is then?

It just means banned. The log only ever shows as nuked or Autoban, I guess its' a limitation in SMF.

Thanks TheQuin, The message came at the moment I reported them so that's why I thought that they were autobanned. Thanks both of you for the help, and sorry LoyceV for the off-topic.

Hahahahahahaha... I think what he is trying to say is that, there should be a system where people who get their posts deleted by mod on the forum will be charged a fine and this fine increases with the number of posts that will be deleted.

Thank you for decrypting what I meant.

I adjusted this to be what I believe Iasenko was going for. I'm not sure if they meant only as a result of being reported or just total deleted posts in general.

You got the idea, yeah. I changed the OP too.

Just for example I have had quite a few posts deleted, for whatever reason, some of them as a result of providing coaching for a reported post. I do that from time to time hoping they will see it read it and learn, full well knowing my post will also be deleted once things are handled.

I also have some posts deleted, but I'm not sure if those posts were actually reported because I often post guidelines in threads which get deleted.
That's why I proposed to be Activity/merit dependent, in your case, the deleted posts will not be taken in consideration, based on your received merit.
