  • I have to agree here. I dropped from 95% to 82%. Any lower than that and it makes us look like we moderate maliciously. It would be nice to see that get fixed.
  • Yup.. I agree! Looks like I'm being trigger happy with the flag button! It was just for the blatant scam ads!!
  • I agree. I reported a few of the Nike spammers posts several weeks ago and it dropped my % to like 72%. I reported one today and now I am down to 64%. I don't care about the points. They can keep those, but the % does reflect on you as a user as urk already pointed out. I will not report anything else until my % comes back up.
  • I agree. My mod score is at 70% for reporting some of those, and I haven't gotten any points lately for reporting. I don't think we should be penalized for reporting spam.
  • Many of us are suffering the same angst. My moderations sank from 100% to as low as 3% after reporting well over 170 spams that had taken me hours...HOURS...of personal effort to track down and report. AB's failure to act on my flags go back as much as a month! Spammers can do great harm to this site. Assisting AB by quickly reporting them so they can be shut down and frustrated in their devious activity should be rewarded quickly. I suspect AB is chintzing on staff, which is penny wise and pound foolish. They have captured a huge number of us participants, and a gold mine of advertisers who want to reach us. That shouldn't be taken for granted in either case. That would be downright stupid...an extremely poor expression of sound business sense. +5
  • I agree with you, this has been a source of aggravation for a long time. It used to take a week or two for things to balance out. Now it can take a month or more. The more we try to help ... the more we look like greedy point seekers. Every time I report spammers my % drops lower than it was, even after they decide to balance it and award some points for my efforts. Right now I'm down to 62%, I can't wait to see what it will change to this time.
  • I dropped from 85% to 65% for correctly flagging spam. Seems there was a time there where even when they removed the spam, no points were awarded, just number of flags submitted was counted.
  • You don't get points for flagging spam anymore and haven't for a while but it does lower your moderation score. So It's a waste of time to flag spam..either ignore it or just send a link via feedback but you will not get points for spam reporting and if you flag too much you lose 10 points for each flag..warning
  • I have received mine - have you since this question?
