Looking at the posts, I can understand why some of those reports are marked bad. Don't get me wrong, they are mostly not very constructive posts and I have nothing against posts like that getting deleted, but they don't look like a regular bumping spam either but just a bunch of people arguing and complaining. From my experience, posts like that often end up as unhandled.

Yes, that's true, Decent topic did not use bumping threads, as I mentioned in my previous post. However, there were thousands of zero-value posts (otherwise I could not have 1200+ posts reported and deleted and Welsh more than 2000), most being various fights between some users saying Decent is scam and others saying it's great. Some were also swearing. I reported all those posts, until those from June 2017 and they were deleted. So all had same pattern. This is why I think that, mostly, the mod which flagged those as bad was thinking differently than Welsh regarding spam or not constructive posts or he considered them as being too old for bothering to moderate them...

Furthermore, if you actually read the topic, not just those examples posted by me, you'll see those posts (given by me as examples but also most of the other ones as well) as being even less constructive. For example, to understand better what I am saying, look at all posts made by user holmes70. This guy is delusional and I believe he lost a ton of money with Decent. If you read the remaining of his posts, you'll see that all of them are made in Decent thread and you will notice also how often he changes his mind, calling Decent great a few times, calling it scam other times and so on. And insulting also the other users of the respective thread. I reported about 100+ posts of this user and they were deleted and Welsh deleted also 200+ posts made by holmes70. I saw a post inside the topic saying he had more than 700 posts and all made there. And, a post made by holmes70 himself is proving me that, indeed, he is delusional because he lost a lot of money:

You will not be able to make any profit with $ 30.
If you invest $ 200,000 like me, you deserve to criticize this team.

Iirc, I tried something like that year or two ago, with no success so I just gave up on that approach.

Do you mean you tried to start a discussion about clearing things out regarding what posts can be reported (and have a chance to be deleted) based on the year when they were made? Sorry, I did not understand exactly what you meant here.

Sup holydarkness,

Been wondering, how important is the comments made on each report and/or how big is it on helping to make your work easier? Is a blank comment as useful as the one with some description?

As both Rikafip and Welsh said, leaving a proper comment when making a report is very important. Otherwise it would look like a guessing game between you and the mod. And, excepting posts which are crystal clear for everybody that they have zero-value, you may want to report other posts as well, some for very complex reasons, such as plagiarism. In all these cases you should indicate why you make the respective report. Some posts may actually be constructive, but off-topic. If you'd report such posts, mods would not know your reason.

And, exactly as Rikafip suggested, you can see most of your previous comments only by clicking on the comment field when making a report. In this manner you do not actually have to stay and write manually, each time, your comment. Just left-click once with the mouse on the comment field, then select (also with the mouse) the appropriate comment, from the list of your previous comments.

Besides, reading post #187 of this thread may give you some useful suggestions
