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.

    I’m not sure I’d call it selfish. There are users with particularly distasteful opinions that I prefer to downvote when I see them expressed. If I blocked them, then I wouldn’t be able to help shape the community in a positive manner.

      Yeah, I feel like this is an important aspect that many users miss.
