Andres you should consider making this feature work with the post count of the user. Making the amount of posts reports proportional to the post count of a user. I think it's safe to say that the people with a higher amount of posts wouldn't troll or create havoc. It's more the people with less posts or people who have just joined who mess things up for others. So how about the lower there post count, the less reports they would need to be light banned. Say 5 reports. And for those with a higher post say 700 posts would need 10 reports to get them light banned. This way we protect people who have been here longer being targeted for no reason and we make it easier to silence those who need be silenced whilst you are offline.
I like this. I could do something like get the user's post count, divide it by 100, add 3, then round down to the nearest integer, and that would be the number of "quick reports" from fully-verified users that would be required to ban them temporarily.


So, anything under 100 posts would require just 3 such reports in a specific period of time (say 30 minutes) to immediately give them 3 infractions and ban them for 24 hours (assuming they have no prior infractions, otherwise, their ban would be longer). The rest would look something like this:

Post Count >> Reports Required
100 >> 4
200 >> 5
300 >> 6
400 >> 7
500 >> 8
600 >> 9
700 >> 10
800 >> 11
900 >> 12
1000 >> 13
etc...

Cool idea, Wonder, thanks!

That's bang on admin. But i was thinking 5 plus post count divided by 100 and remove the decimals from the integer. But 3 will work well too :-)

But you can't say round off because then it will add 1 from the first 50 posts then add another 1 at 150 posts and then 250 and so on. Best remove the decimal numbers completely. Then 0.99 will still equal 0. Fair is fair :-)

The problem is that only a small handful of users actually report posts, so the higher that number is, the more difficult it will be to instaban someone. I'll have to play around with it and see where the sweet spot is.

Rounding down to the nearest integer is the same thing as truncating the decimals, so we're talking about the same thing. :)
