What's the approved way of reporting users who are likely fraudulently reviewing posts? (ie, one who did a 'looks ok' on a obvious delete in LQ, and his review history is a ton of 'looks ok' and equivalents)?

Unihedron

Good morning!

Joe

Flag a post they reviewed?

Braiam

@Joe flag the post and include many links

Santa Claus

@Joe Flag one of your own questions or one of their posts and give sufficient evidence

Joe

or stone then in the streets?

Okay, just confirming. Thanks!

Unihedron

Use custom flag and give lots of evidence

Santa Claus

lots of evidence

Joe

Does custom flag have a character limit? :)

Unihedron

14:45

Pastebin it then.

Joe

Well, what's 'lots of evidence'

Unihedron

But the point it, make your flag irrefusable!

Joe

just wondering what the character limit is

Braiam

@Joe 500, but you can use short/share link

Joe

of course

Now that I think about it, I hope it's not me you're wanting to report. :P

Joe

Well, I was thinking about it...

Braiam

D:

Joe

but i'll put it to you this way

at 5m ago he reviewed 10 posts

in a 3 minute span, 20

and 100% of them are "looks ok"

so I don't think it'll be too hard to make the case ;)

Braiam

be careful, there are people that review blazing fast yet they do it The Right Way™

(i.e. me :P)

Joe

Of course

i'm pretty fast too

Unihedron

14:47

I skip a lot so I'm slower.

Joe

but this was a blatant, blatant bad one

and the review audits are behaving particularly slowly (and he also probably had a review ban based on the exactly 7 day gap in reviews)

when audits are extra slow = easy to get past them :)
