If it would be incorrect for a moderator to do anything in response to a report at the time when the report was made, then the report is considered inaccurate. Reports are explicitly marked as incorrect by moderators. It's also possible (though rare) for a report to be marked as neither good nor bad -- such reports don't count toward your accuracy percentage.

Average accuracy is 56%, so 60% (66% now) isn't bad. Unless you're only reporting really obvious stuff, very few people will have accuracies above 90%. Even if you have the correct mindset for moderation, you won't know the policies well enough until you've been a moderator for a while.

I think that this is all pretty good! Any accuracy percentage above ~25% is probably fine.

Thanks for the update

so Reporting is like a duty and helping Mods.

I imagine users reporting posts are largely what the mods rely on, so yeah it probably helps out a great deal. Most mods probably won't have the time to patrol the entire forum of their respective sub and can only handle stuff via reports and whatever they happen to come across themselves.

What does the first sentence mean? I can't wrap my head around it Undecided

.

And would a very high percentage of accurate reports ever actually count against you? I'd like to keep mine as high as possible just for my own personal achievement/entertainment (as lame as that might sound Cool

), but I don't think I just report 'obvious' stuff, but obviously can only report things I'm aware of, but I'd like to think I've learnt and know generally what most things should and shouldn't be reported by now (though I'm not claiming I know everything as there's bound to be things I'd miss or aren't aware that should be reported as of yet). I wish there was an extensive thread somewhere of what stuff should and shouldn't be reported though. I think that would help a lot of users out (and also consequently the forum).
