With recent events hilighting the value of quality moderation, it got me to consider: How can we help you out?

What steps, considerations, encouragements or warnings would you give the userbase regarding best practices for using the report feature (or other interraction with mods)? Reporting less, reporting more, putting more detail in the form, or just leaving it blank?

I was thinking of maybe putting together a psa-style infographic (a la think before you post) if the answers you give are poignant or significantly unknown to the average user.

    If your description of the events is accurate: that’s a removedty mod, and a good example of what I wrote in the last paragraph. We should be denouncing this sort of crap, and avoiding comms where it happens.

    It’s not always so easy to assume that mods are going to be fair. Reporting people comes with a risk.

    I’m not assuming that the mods are going to be fair. I’m taking into account that removedty mods do a favour to you when they out themselves, as they’re basically showing you which comms to avoid.
