is there anyway to determine your reliability rating?

HI, Steve L

Unfortunately, we currently don't have the information for this at this time, but the Staff do have it in mind to let us know in the near future. Please see link to read where the Staff said they are interested in letting us know our report reputation level:

Until they implement this ( which I am so desperate for), we can determine for ourselves whether our reputation level is great or degraded by observing to how fast our report removes a content in violation of the Community Guidelines ( CG ) and Terms of Service ( TOS ).

3 weeks ago my reputation was extreme. I could remove a content on my own ( without Community Moderation help), but someone I reported won their violation notice appeal and hurt my reputation. Of course I did not mean to report the User negatively; I felt he violated the CG.

Conversely, I had to work very hard on building my reputation back up , and today I feel my reputation is once again extreme.

Here is how I test my reputation:

Before I report a content, I add it to my watchlist, then I report it. Then I return to my watchlist to see whether the content is being deleted or not.

Take care :-)

No -- only the YA team knows that information and they have no intention of letting anyone else be aware of it.
