    remove the reporting posts waiting time

    Atm you need to wait 60 seconds between reporting posts, its realy annoying if you want to report thread for being in the wrong section and every time you need to wait

    (i know it is just 60 seconds its just annoying)

    Check other threads before posting...

    Anyways I gave a sufficient enough answer to reporting multiple threads: Simply leave the message "Other threads in this section need to moved" or something similar.

    The issue is the fact that when you report a post, it creats a thread in a specal section with the details of the report. So the 60 seconds is actually in place due to the thread timer... I think? Its more so a post timer than a report timer.

    I could be wrong.

    Reducing the timer would be stupid. If everyone reports all the threads / posts against the rules there will be tons of notifications for the staff to check, which will make removal of the posts take longer? Not sure I'm not staff but I'd imaging having to check tons of reports a day will not only be time consuming, but could also affect how well the job is done. Correct me if I'm wrong...

    Re: remove the reporting posts waiting time

    if the same post/thread is reported twice then a post is added to the thread that was created when the post/thread was reported for the first time, so it doesn't slow down progress on cleaning up even if the same post was reported many times

    but still, 60 seconds waiting time is nothing, it's not like you can't open a 2nd tab do whatever you want to do and then report the 2nd thread/post after 60 seconds passed

    Reports aren't done by threads they make an actual report in the ModCP and if it was reported twice two reports will be waiting in the modCP

    And no there is no way to deal with multiple report logs in the ModCP. You set it to closed then click apply, wait for it to reload then do the same for the next report.

    vBulletin report system is kinda derp.
    Report time is directly linked to the posting of new threads (60 seconds) and Mental will not reduce that time so there is nothing that can really be done.

    Honestly, if you are reporting multiple posts within one thread/section then you should just add links to the report note and it can all be done the same
    However, if they are within different sections with different moderators then a separate report is appreciated.
