A problem arises for the moderator, because the post is obviously not what it was initially reported for, and it all boils down to whether the moderator wants to check it in the database of archived posts, or whether the reporter archived it and added a link to the description of the reported post. I'm not sure what the moderator would do in such a case, but it seems to me that the majority would leave such a report unhandled or maybe even mark it as bad.
Thank you for the response Lucius. As I understand it, the mods would act on their discretion.
Would the report being marked as bad or unhandled affect the users ratings, like succeeding reports not being taken as serious, or is it of no importance.?
Can I also see the status of my reports to the moderator?
