Duplicate reports for all posts reported 2 or more times or do the moderators also check the reason for reporting? If I report a post for one reason, but then I realize it's wrong or might not be good enough to get the post deleted, I might find a second rule violation why the post could be deleted. If I report that post a second time, but explaining this other reason and maybe mentioning why the first report isn't sufficient, will my report still be marked as bad?
Generally yeah, but that would be more so because the initial report was bad, and you've corrected it. So, the correct report would be handled good (hopefully Tongue), and the bad report, would be marked bad. If they're both technically correct, and you've reported them twice with different reasons, personally I'd probably mark that as good, however your mileage might vary with that one, since other moderators might see it different.

I personally treat a duplicate report as exactly that; a duplicate meaning same post, as well as explanation or if you haven't put anything in the report reason field on both. I always check the reason a user has reported another user, it's literally what I focus on the most, not who reported it, or the title of the thread. In fact, I've modified my report queue to reduce the size of the title of threads, since generally it's not very useful.
