We've had a few articles go through recently where they are already reported as plagiarised in S&A, but enough moderators haven't spotted the theft. This makes life a little harder, as the article then needs to be re-reported in order to close it.
How about an indication in the "Article Moderation: Should this article be published?" box out that this item has plagiarism, spam, and / or abuse reports against it - not how many, or who reported them, but just an indication next to the "action" drop down so moderators get an idea to check S&A and see if they agree with the report before pressing "Approve"?

I just found out about the flag icon at the top right of the article page. You can still report the article as unfit after it's been approved.

You can - but approval resets all report counts, so you have to re-report it from scratch to get it kicked.

How about having certain report types (spam, plagarized, etc) NOT get cleared upon approval?

Personally, I'd rather it didn't get through at all - and give new moderators the idea that they should check for plagiarism etc. as well as technical content and writing ability!

Something like the view of Votes-count
When you hover the report/approve icon, a mini graphic with how many reports belong to which cathegory above the options.
That would be cool and do the job

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It looks like the content of this message[^] wasn't properly encoded. As a result, the layout of the rest of the forum is broken.
(I'd fix it myself, but I don't have access to edit other users' messages.  )

Ha, I think we may both have fixed it at the same time.

Done; you can go and tell him the answer now.

I would, if he'd given us any information about the error.

You mean you cannot read his mind?

I tried, but it returned a 404 error.

When I hover my mouse over the articles menu header it drops down and I see all of the options. But as soon as I move my mouse down the first option in the list is Chapters and Sections...it pops up a new menu list over top of the articles list...I can't seem to find a way to click any of the links on the articles menu because that one always pops up in front of it.
I use google chrome. Maybe there is some setting I should change, or something?
Thanks.

I just checked (Chrome Version 53.0.2785.70 beta-m (64-bit)) and the sub-menu correctly pops up to the right of the main one.

Hi,
I d like to vote the survey for the c# best article, but it says i don't have enough reputation.
So, i tried to find if the reason is due to the fact that there is a minimum number of points to have for voting surveys, or a certain # of points as Debator/Partecipant/Whatever, but i couldn't find anything that can point me in the right direction.
Anybody can help me understand why i cannot vote for this survey?
Thanks

I believe you need more Author reputation. We've had to gate off the voting to deter nefarious votes. This makes the voting less open (which we don't like) but far more accurate (which to me, matters the most).
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. Good to know, and how much is the reputation needed?
You can also point me to the link where it is written, so i won't bother on this forum
thanks

... for people who know what I'm talking about: Do you want me to answer as to what I'm personally using, what I'm using at work, or what my work as a whole is doing.
... for people who DON'T know what I'm talking about: Move along, nothing to see here. 
EDIT: For the first answer to the first question are you broadly defining any use of that service as counting or only if it explicitly checks the meta level box?
PPS Yes I do like leaving those not in the know wondering what they're missing. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
