omg, WDZ is sooooo gonna slap me for this
(but maybe an idea to reduce double reports)

Well, as the title already suggested, an indication in the report window of when a post is already been reported or not.

Just an indication, no details as of why or the reporttext or something though....

Whenever the report is dealt with (ignored, fixed, whatever) the indication would be deleted also...

Isn't that already there?

What about a grayed out report button without a link

Thats a better idea, or what if, in the main forums or latest posts, there is like a red dot that only forum staff can see, and there is the post that is reported.. no lol aww well..

I agree, it would be better and less frustrating for the forum staff, i say, implement it, it would save hastle

What would really be less hassle would be if every time you double posted it was automatically merged into the last post...believe this has been suggested before...

Well, if we're gonna be picky then why not a listbox with common reasons (ie spam, double post, link to forbidden sites, etc), then there could be a new stat: who's the one with more reported posts and why

Uhh... *waits for Cookie's reply to Anubis*

Nah, I don't want showthread.php querying the reports table for such a small feature.

I think that would encourage spammy reports... is it really hard to type "double post" or something?

If you mean who reports the most, that's another thing to encourage unnecessary reports. I hate unnecessary reports, so no.

If you mean whose posts are reported the most, that's not really any of the public's business. Anyway, that data isn't fully available with the current system.

Now, thread closed, because Anubis says he wants to "spam it up"

When a report has been handled, the indication isn't cleared on the page for reporting a post. A report that has been handled/forgotten (eg: accidently cleared) will still be indicated there as "already been reported".

This makes that, if you follow that indicator, you wouldn't report the post anymore, thus the post will be forgotten about...

eg, the double posting here:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=32...d=315327#pid315327

I once reported it, and now the indicator shows it, but the post is still there and Chrono told me there are no reports anymore. So shouldn't the indicator be cleared when the report is cleared?

Soooo....... do I have my revenge now?
