Last Report for Posts with Multiple Reports

I've been watching a forum thread which currently has 6 reports on it. One of the phrases that pops up when you click on the number of reports goes along the lines of "Last reported" followed by a time stamp showing number of hours and minutes ago. This time stamp is actually the time stamp of the first report not the last report. Should the phrase be "First reported" or is there something wrong with how the time calculator works.

The time stamp indicated almost matches how old the thread is so that's how I know that the figure shows the first report rather than the most recent "last" report.

I'm also wondering how the thread ended up with so many unresolved reports. Normally the moderators act on and clear the reports really quickly.

This is the forum thread in question. I can understand why it has been reported so much. Among other things it could attract personal attacks which we'd rather avoid on this forum.

I think that's a link to a particular comment on the forum but the whole thread is an issue.

    In most cases yes especially when it clearly violates our guidelines. In other cases, we discuss and monitor the thread. Also occasionally we step away from the computer or sleep. :)

    Yes, you are right. Last report (as of this comment) was 3 hours 15 min ago but the last report on that thread according to that box says 7 hour 35 min ago. We'll get that fixed up.

    • Thanks for the clarifications.

    • Just on another note, I saw a post today (that $1,100 ring one) which had 3 reports of duplicate.

      Does this frustrate you? The excess reporters can easily see it's been reported as a duplicate, why the need to duplicate the reports (haha)?

      • Doesn't make a difference, the report page groups them all by the deal. Better to have people reporting then not at all.

        • Ah… Fair enough. Thanks for the response.

  • If it ain't a bargain I don't care!

    • +2

      But you're in the forums, no bargains here :P
