2015 Post Report Statistics

I think the Mods do a great job here of keeping the forum a nice place to be.
My daughter used to go on a forum where the mods basically bend the rules if you are one of their friends. Doesn't make it fun.
Thanks for all your hard work Mods. Keep up the good work.

I don't know what it's like now. I left the iPhone forum many years ago due to the sheer craziness. People returning phones half a dozen times over invisible scratches or what they perceived was a slightly yellow screen which they could only see in certain lighting conditions, then going apoplectic on anyone who dared to suggest they were taking it a bit far.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, a yellowed screen would drive me up the wall, too. Though it has to be noticeably yellowed. Not "if I stare at this pure blue picture for 20 minutes then look at my phone, the whites aren't quite as nice".

If you go to the iPhone forum, you WILL get cut. No doubt about it. People are crazy there.

To protect yourself, you have to enter that iPhone forum with open carry.

I was just looking at there being 17,139 reported posts covering 8,831 members. Sounds like of people whose posts were reported, they generally had multiple reports. It's actually just under two. But, obviously, there's some sort of curve. I hadn't even gotten to the other graphs by that point showing the distribution of posters. Crazy that the top 10 reporters reported an enrage of 666 posts!

Yes, there's a curve, although as vrDrew suggests, it's not as extreme as it is for post reporters.

Of the members who had at least one post reported in 2015, 72% had just one post reported, and another 13% had two reported. Less than 2% had more than 10 posts reported. Any guesses as to the most reported member of all time? (Hint: the account has never been banned or otherwise reprimanded)

I'm guessing arn, for whatever reason. People probably think he's spamming. Or whatever account posts the front page stories.

Considering he only has a total of 13,547 posts over the course of the last 15 years or so, I would think there would be a better candidate than him to look for.

Correct! Usually for suspected errors or typos in news articles.
