Good suggestion, OP. The only problem is that it seems like Theymos isn't listening to proposals from the community all that much. We did get the "OP" tag, which is probably one of the least useful ones I'd seen in years, but aside from that there haven't been any new methods made available to combat shitposting in a long time. Keep your fingers crossed, though.
I was surprised to see the OP tag implemented a few weeks ago, despite the fact that someone suggested something similar last year and it was not implemented until Pow... provided a patch to support his suggestion. We have been requesting the Nigeria board for almost two years and have received no response from them. It is quite painful how he remains silent on some cases but acts quickly on others. The lack of an African board speaks poorly of this forum, but that's a story for another day. Nigeria is one of the top five countries in terms of bitcoin/crypto adoption, with more than 70 active community members.
I'm curious why the activity of mods on the G, discussion board has decreased.
However, it's a absolute huge undertaking to fully moderate the section. You could probably get it to an acceptable level in a few months, but there's so many replies in those megathreads, and if you don't watch the sports, then sometimes you don't know when those users that are basically just putting vague replies out, are doing exactly that. Sometimes you can, but ultimately to be able to catch the majority of them you need to know a little about the sports.
Cyrus and hilariousandco moderate G. Disscusion, but I doubt Cyrus is as active as hilariousandco, and the G. mod can't handle those bulky reports alone, so I guess that's another reason we have more unhandled cases.
Sometimes I suspect that my unhandled reports are duplicates of other members' reports that were resolved before mine arrived. Is there a way for the system to indicate which post has been reported so that duplicate reports on the same post are avoided?
