    Waindigo from XenForo recently released a new add-on called Your Reports, which lets non-moderators view a list of of reports they've made, though be aware it only counts reports made from after the add-on's installed.

    http://xenforo.com/community/resources/your-reports-by-waindigo.3111/

    I don't see this as much as a "must have" like the Forum Moderators add-on, but I still think this could be useful to keep track of reports. For example, if you reported that a thread needs to be merged into another thread, but it hasn't happened after a week, you could look at the report history and say, "I reported that this thread needed to be merged at so and so date, and it hasn't yet been dealth with."

    Thoughts?

    Won't happen. We often discuss the reports in the comments and that shouldn't really be visible to the reporting member. When reports are resolved I and I think everyone else sends alerts, if a report "hasn't been dealt with" in a timely fashion it was probably rejected.

    Fair enough. :)

    I'm actually not sure if it shows them the staff's comments, but I'll ask just for curiosity's sake. As for reports, there have been some reports of mine that were approved that I didn't get alerts for. I personally don't see that as a big deal, though, and I hardly ever get those "not dealt with in a timely fashion" moments.

    There's an option to check off and type in an alert to the user if the Moderator chooses to. I'm not sure about the other staff members, but I make sure I add that in if I feel it would be beneficial to the member who reported it. Obviously I wouldn't need to if someone reported a bot. I'm sure you can rest easy knowing someone got to it without getting an alert for that.

    Yup. Definitely. I completely agree.[DOUBLEPOST=1398190680][/DOUBLEPOST]@Misty: I know this is essentially rejected, but just for the reference, I got a response, and it does not show the moderator discussions: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/your-reports-by-waindigo.72769/#post-755472
