That one was pretty clearly not okay but I have adjusted myself so that I usually avoid reporting because I realize my threshold is lower than many people.

Are you able to let us know if you prefer less reports over all or more with the risk of a portion of them not really being moderation worthy?

I don't get a lot of reports. That one wasn't even reported. What I want is less reports that don't actually break any rules.
