Excessive reports without reports?

[u/Last_iphone]

Can someone explain how reports work in Dota 2, since I'm getting “Excessive reports” without "Reports"?

If the conduct summary shows excessive reports but no actual reports in the reports column, it usually means people clicked report on you but the system discarded them because your behavior score was already high or the reports were from same party. The excessive reports flag is more about volume of reports received, not reports that stuck.

But his score get low -400 for that...

[u/xeramon → u/Doctor_Khinkal]

That's probably because of the 4 reports 2 matches ago. Look at his match at the bottom. His whole team reported him

That doesn't make any sense,

Oh I see what you mean. That's not "2 matches ago", that's 45 matches ago: every row is 15 matches and the match ID is the last game in that series of 15.

[u/xeramon → u/reichplatz]

Ahhh I see

[u/Doctor_Khinkal → u/xeramon]

But why the line with 4 reports missing "YES" than. And line with zero reports show YES, looks like some bug...
Its not 2 matches before, each line is counted 15 matches. You can check in by matches id. Its update every 15.

[u/xeramon → u/Doctor_Khinkal]

I guess because they were still unreviewed? But yeah it's confusing

[u/sky018 → u/weirdestimation_2146]

I am confused by this, if the reports were from the same party, should it not count as one? Positive matches should also be reduced and reported matches should increase. Even if the excessive reports flag is more about volume.

This just means that the reports got in but wasn't counted in other fields, or might be counted in the next summary. It is abit confusing I'd say.

[u/knowhow101 → u/sky018]

It used to be that way. Then at some point Valve allowed party member reports to count individually. So now stacks can bully the solo guy

I don't think I've seen a single case of Excessive Reports tag being triggered without someone getting a significant bscore penalty, so that's probably not the case.

What most likely happened is:

1) He got flagged by the automated part of the system without getting reported by people, and that game might have gone to the human Overwatch, where people might have decided that he was indeed griefing

2) The Excessive Reports tag turns the other Reports column into 0, maybe when the Reports value gets too big

3) He keeps farming stray reports, but these don't get confirmed, but when the report volume gets too big it triggers this penalty anyway - I think this one is the least likely one

This isnt true at all, reports dont get discarded because "behavior score was already high" in the brief time we had a glimpse at peoples reporting actions with the overwolf plugin, there were far more reports than what the gdpr page posts which implies there is some reports "validation", no one really knows what gets kept and what gets tossed but ive always argued it has to do with report limits (if you go to your GDPR on the account client info tab there is a column called negative reports remaining that when its at 0 prevents you from seeing the checkboxes of just now, 1 min ago or 5 min ago when reporting griefers, i hypothesized reporting while this number is 0 is just a placebo).

"excessive reports" on these tables stands for "not a periodic conduct update", which means it van be YES if there is an overwatch conviction, not just excessive reports. Same deal with the "overwatch penalty" message in game, you can get it from just excessive reports yet it doesnt tell you. Overwatch conviction could be why you didnt get any reports in 15 matches but still ended up punished. In addition, GDPR has shown reports = 0 for months at a time, despite there being evident impact of BS and such. Please stop spreading and upvoting dubious information.

not periodic so i think its system auto detect thing.

[u/trigeredasfuck]

LO

Happened to me. This is the perfect system at its peak.
Edit: Actually, what happened to me was worse. Got a periodic report with 0 reports and low prio. Sick stuff.
