We want to encourage people on reporting with a simple click process. Mods can decide the problem with a post once it's in the report queue, if there is a problem with it.Just on that subject (since it gets brought up sometimes), what if upon clicking the report button, a slightly more detailed popup came up giving you some predefined options for reporting a post, and a separate option for optionally entering your own reason. That is, you could still just hit "OK" to report a post, but you could also provide a reason if you wanted to.
It could work, sorta like the way the mods ban people, but only if the person could just hit "ok" without detailing reason.
Giving the option too is all well and good but some people are too lazy to even scroll down and pick the reason they're reporting the thread, as long as the default is "Reason not given" or something it's ok, you know so people don't actually have to do it but it can be right there if they want to.
I occasionally actually want to detail my reports.
It could also be made if enough people vote under the same infraction then the amount of votes to collapse a post could be lower.
(E.g. It takes five reasonless votes to down a person but it only takes three votes that detail the same reason, which could be spam, flaming, etc.)
Plus you could have a "comment section" that the mods could look over for reports that have a written reason rather than a predefined one, and the mod could get a better understanding as to spesifically why a post was reported, and if report abuse was taking place (AKA someone getting reported because "they're dumb" or something) then action could be taken towards that member, maybe having a report history ..
This would only work if it was entirely optional though, some people don't want to fill out a form just to report someone, hell most people don't want to do as much as we have to do now.
