do you really need badges to motivate you do the right things? just keep on reporting,
so when the badges out you already have enough good report counts for one Wink

maybe theymos is still figuring out how to protect the badge award system from abuse
because people could make new accounts just to spam, so his main account can report it Lips sealed

I'm thinking generally, some people don't want to report things because they didn't care at all. So thinking about a simple motivation, it will help to encourage all of the users to report those spam and shitpost. Let's be honest, if theymos didn't open up the thread about reporters badge, some people will just ignore the report button. There are only a few people who are members of spam busters who digging every discussion just to diminish all of the spam/shit posts.

When it comes to me, I don't need any motivation, I'm already doing my best because being here is one of my passion. Wink

There's probably a good reason why it hasn't been implemented yet. It's unclear what the reasons are, but something has probably got the attention of theymos. Although, a very neat addition to the forum I wouldn't class it as high priority. Hopefully, we see some higher threshold reporting badges now that there's several users on the forum with 30k+ reports. I'd like a very high one just to encourage users to continue reports as I feel 5k reports is easy to get within a very small amount of time. At least if we had say a 100k one it would potentially spur users on to keep reporting.

Yes, there's a lot of users who have 10k good reports already so it's better to make it in 100k or more since every month there are thousands of post that have been made by sig spammers and shitposters
