Also you didnt compare the number/percentage of bad post reports there to those in the travel forums either.
Excluding BPRs related to posts by those with fewer than 180 posts --particularly as those FTers with less than 180 posts don't actively post in OMNI -- what's the ratio of BPRs out of total postings in the travel forums vs. the ratio of BPRs out of total postings in OMNI? While such numbers (and more) would be interesting, even that isn't necessarily the best measure or matrix of measures to understand what transpires here.
In any event, that is, percentages and ratios might not say it all. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if, with some notable exceptions, OMNI BPRs take more time to investigate and address than non-OMNI BPRs.
Figures available or not, OMNI has certainly eaten up a lot of moderator time and moderators --especially as some people (in OMNI and outside of OMNI) don't know how to have a clean discussion without engaging in personal attacks and/or engaging in discussions of FTers; that is some have trouble addressing the content in the posts in that particular thread and instead resort to a make-work program for moderators and others.
