Isn't multiple reports an matrix of getting the post deleted soon or doesn't it even increase the probability of it being handled ?
It should only take 1 moderator to look at the report and decide if they want to take action or leave the post as is. No reason they would need to see something reprted 25 times to finally decide to delete.

Ok, I agree, it would not matter much but atleast give moderator an view of this post really being spammy due to multiple reports on the same.

This even makes sense here.


I would like to know if I report 1 post two times or a two people report one same post does it comes as a two different cases or one case with 2 reports?

Still no answer to this question, hoping to get some information on how the report system is working so we can be more efficient.
AFAIK If two/three/ten people report a post then they all get credited for a good report if the post/thread has been deleted. If multiple people have reported a post they come up as separate in the report queue. However, if a moderator deletes the post all the users are credited with a good report. If the post is moved, then not all reports are credited with a good report, and quite often if someone hasn't specified something along the lines of "Wrong section, doesn't belong in <section>" then a moderator may think you are reporting it for being in the current section it's been moved too and thus mark it as a bad report.

I'm unsure what happens if an account is banned, but their posts haven't been removed. However, I would think that after someone has been banned the report would still remain in the queue, and you would be marked on it's accuracy. A moderator probably knows if a user has been banned, and might mark your report good without removing it.
