by contacting a mod that I know is active in a certain board. These are those situations where you know you have a good report, it is handled as such but is marked as bad, which is of course a mistake that can happen to anyone.
Absolutely, I've marked reports wrongly a few times. I usually contact the user that reported it, and explain to them that I've been an idiot.
SNIPThat's so kind of you that when you realise that you mistakenly marked a report as bad, you contact the reporting guy to explain them everything about the situation. But besides that, I'd also like to know that if you find something bad yourself (not a report but a post), do you also have the ability to click on 'report to moderator' and delete it right away? If yes, and you do not get that request to delete the post, will other mods give their take and mark yours as bad if they think that according to them, the post does not deserve to be deleted?
Are the sections of the forum classified between all the moderators and each moderator is assigned to specific areas of which all the reports will be sent to that specific moderator only? Or are the reports made, sent to more than one moderator at a time?
