Enforcing the Report System
Alright, let me summarize what we have so far:
This idea does have some potential, but its drawbacks are just too great for it to be viable, and it's too easily exploitable.
I think I'll leave this open for a few days before closing it (which I don't even know how to do lol)
You can close your topic 24 hours after creation.

In my experience they take care of it within an hourReports are already taken care of quickly.
I wouldn't exactly call 3 weeks “quickly”.

Well… not really. Within my 7 months on Scratch, I have only witnessed a few reports that are taken care of within an hour. The longest one took over 3 weeks.

I think we should look at the average reports response time as the median, not the longest time it has takenIn my experience they take care of it within an hourReports are already taken care of quickly.

I agree that reports need to be seen more but the only real way to do that is to hire more mods, which the ST does not have the funding to do as of now

Would you mind editing out this part of the original post?
According to my knowledge, 6 processed reported comments = 1 admin message, and 6 admin messages = 1 ban.Some Scratchers seem to be using this as an official source, but @Paddle2See confirmed earlier in this thread that this is not correct. In general, the number of reports you get, the number of alerts you get, and the number of bans you get are uncorrelated; it all depends on what was reported, what you were alerted for, how frequently you were alerted, etc. There is no set number of reports that leads to an alert, and there is no set number of alerts that leads to a ban.

How about scratchers that haven't been hit with bans. If your account is in good standing and not a new scratcher, then you can use the button.lets stick with the for well behaved scratchers only and add it.

after looking at most of this
I will keep my stance and say still, no support
the report system is as good as is,
people can simply abuse this,
and people are creative at things, similarly to the halo effect.

I might understand why you said that. This is just the type of thing that it's hard for people to understand unless they've experienced it. Then again my ideas may not be the best lol
