After 600 (not sure the number) reported posts you get that button "report history". I was happy when I got mine! I still have only 896 reported posts. Keep good work!

That's interesting--I thought when it appeared on my screen that it was just a new feature Theymos had introduced for everyone, not something you got to see once you reached a reporting milestone.  You'd think I'd know stuff like this after all this time, but alas.

Charles-Tim, it's nice to see you're still actively reporting a lot of posts/threads after being here for 4 years.  There was a time when I would spend maybe 1-2 hours a day just looking for shitposts and the occasional spam thread to report, but around 2018 when the merit system got rolled out I sort of lost my enthusiasm.  That probably isn't unique to me, so hopefully newer members and ones who aren't burned out on reporting (like yourself) will keep up the fight, because the moderators definitely need help from the community.  I'll still report posts if they're in the wrong language or are obviously spam, but if I were to spend any time in the altcoin section (for instance) I'd probably start feeling like I was fighting a losing battle very quickly.  There are some sections that seem to be immune to reporters and mods--like a mutant cockroach infestation or some such thing.

Props to all of you reporters of bad posts and threads!
