Lessen the load on mods by reducing Reports
Reports are a useful tool for cutting down the spam and potential scams on tf2op but since you are getting thousands of reports per day it's no surprise that they often go unnoticed or unchecked.

It would make sense to make it cost 1 "love" to report someone (I.e. it would reduce your Share The Love quota by 1 every time you report someone). If/when the post/person is removed by a mod you get your 1 love back with 1 interest. If not, you lose your 1 love.

This promotes careful and correct reporting and limits the amount of false/ridiculous reports. It also pretty much stops people from reporting more than a few times per day.

The only down sides I can see are:

1. New profiles can't report anyone.
2. Potentially you could get free love and be considered trustworthy without trading.

To solve both of these you could make report karma their own counter next to love. There'd still be an incentive but no potential for abuse.



Not a big deal but it'd probably make things easier for mods while also benefiting the traders.

This is overly complicating things, not to mention the average user wouldn't understand or care of how it works.

Most effective solution would be to receive feedback from mods when you report someone.

  • Your report has been read and approved, thanks for helping. *link to reported post*
  • Your report has been declined. *link to reported post*

These would be standard messages, in addition to this they could contain notes from the mods if needed, like: "Please don't abuse the report system with pointless things or risk being banned."

yes, I wish they gave feedback on reports. Sometimes I come to see someone I've reported still has not had the trade/comment deleted/hidden and I'm not sure if it's because they didn't enforce the rules on that person, if they shouldn't have been reported, or if the admins just haven't gotten to it yet.

*Your report has been read and approved (doesn't necessarily means the guy was punished)
*Your report has been declined. Please don't report these types of offenses
*Your report has been declined. Please don't abuse the report system


^ this is all we need. I can never tell if the report I send is helpful or not worth the time at all.
