Have you thought about adding some sort of privileges that come along with it? Nothing too amazing, but how about something like a bigger personal text or the ability to have a clickable link there? I've always thought that would be useful. Maybe a custom title? Editable or not. I think with having some sort of added benefits it would help the forum by encouraging users to report and everyone benefits.
To add to this suggestion, I think being given some sort of title after receiving x amount of merit would be nice. I was thinking something like Meritous, but that doesn't seem to be a word haha, but 'Meritorious' is which sounds even better:
meritorious
adjective mer·i·to·ri·ous \ ˌmer-ə-ˈtȯr-ē-əs \
deserving of honor or esteem
honored for her meritorious service to the company
Contributor could also be another one, or maybe the entry level choice for a smaller amount of merit received (though still and impressive amount). I think those sorts of titles would show who actually contributes something worthwhile here and would be something everybody could strive for.
Can we also get a PM sent, notifying you submitted a report with a link to the post.
The second suggestion could be useful to the members before they hit 300 reports in identifying which posts they've reported.
Sometimes I go on a reporting spree and do ~30 reports in the Altcoin/Off-topic board. Meanwhile, Welsh has almost 30k reports (which means that he would have received 30k PM in his box).
Sorry, but this isn't a good idea. Hitting 300 good reports isn't that hard.
Agreed. Don't see why this would be needed. If it was implemented though people should be able to toggle the notifications on/off.
Is this guy just did a
Plagiarism?
why not start the process?
That what I thought initially when I saw it, but I think he might have just messed the quote up. Check his other posts for any other examples as if he's a copy and paster there will likely be more.
