Is the "Reported post" Counter ever coming back? - THC - Jan 11, 2018
Was looking around my profile and noticed that the reported post count is gone. Is this a feature that we will ever see return to HF?
I do actually miss it :P

Do you fancy yourself a minimod? Just curious why that metric is important...not at all trying to say It's not a fun metric!

I don't know that it's "important," nor that reporting posts makes you a minimod...Caring for the community and its guidelines shouldn't be something that's frowned upon, as "minimod" is constantly referred to in such poor taste, though I can't say that's what you intend. It's a fun metric, and it's a small quality of life improvement.

I mostly enjoyed having another statistic on my profile, plus, it seems like reporting posts would be incentivized in some way, even if that's just an extra number on your profile. Reporting posts makes the mod's jobs easier I'm sure.
Also, was asking out of curiosity. Don't really care if the statistic stays private (In usercp or such), it'd still be cool to see. Don't really give a shit about if people think I try to be a minimod or not.

I didn't mean that at all, I just meant like as a Red Lion I like to report as many posts as I find...and it's a fun metric. But just because it's gone doesn't mean I will report less.

reporting posts IS incentivized in forms of awards as well as staff promotions.

Eh. Not many of "The Protector" awards seem to be given out, and not every vigilant member of HF wants to become a staff member. [url=https://hackforums.net/myawards.php?awid=7][/url]
Regardless, I think it'd be a nice count to have back in some form.

May I know what's the used of it other than counter for your reported post? Haven't seen it in my profile.
