Human error. You factor it into anything that people act based on their discretion.
This error could be from the person handling the reports or the person making it.
And how to understand this, is it a human error or a fully formed opinion that such posts are constructive and cannot be reported? Yesterday's reporting and today's one show that there is absolute desynchronization in moderation and we are not talking about posts that contain some information that can be subjectively assessed by someone as related to the topic or not related. We are talking about absolutely empty posts and topics that do not contain anything, this has always been deleted, and now it is suddenly guarded as a legacy of the forum.
Moderation on this forum has long defied logical explanation. Previously, everyone on the forum knew that if a person publishes plagiarism without indicating the source, then he will be punished. Now this rule has long since rotted. We are banned randomly, someone is punished for 1 plagiarism, and someone has published 19 plagiarisms and calmly wears a signature for himself, uses the forum. Is there any logic? Is there a system? No.
The same goes for the reporting system. Someone considered the same empty posts as garbage and deleted them, and someone considered that these were valuable posts and they had a place on the forum. Is there any logic? Is there a system? No.
I dont argue, there are always controversial points, because different people have their own system and their own scale for evaluating some posts, whether its moderation or distribution of merit. There is no single standard. But fuck it, it should be, in obvious things. In the most obvious. Every merit source understands not to send merits to a multi-word post like Good Project, or for example every moderator needs to understand that an old bump or empty post should be deleted. There cannot be several opinions on such things, otherwise it is not moderation, but just some kind of confusion.
