View submission: May Mod Experience Product Updates
Awesome! I know this wasn't the topic of the thread and I'm excited for a more native Mod Notes!
P.S. Something else that could help with report abuse in this idea is we could report the randomized username to you all and it might make it easier to track report abuse instead of us linking to 5-10 comments and you all having to track all those comments. Then you could just look up that user with the randomized name and see "yeah they just reported 20 comments and were not legit".
We don't even need the ability to ban a user. Just let us have the ability to snoozereports indefinitely for the user. Or at the very least a longer period of time. Maybe we could even keep track how many times we've snoozed that randomized username. The report could look like this
`Reporter_Cheetah_Orange_1425 [3]: It's promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability`
With the `[3]` how many times they've been snoozed in the past. Then after they've been snoozed let's say 3 times, give us a new option "Snooze indefinitely". Then the user isn't banned or anything but we no longer have to deal with them reporting badly. Not sure if you need to tell the user they've been snoozed indefinitely.

We've been getting those report spams sometimes. Ours is not exactly an abuse all the time though.
Converting a username to a random one is still traceable back to him. All you have to do is follow up those reports by the *random user* to finally find a connection/conversation/argument to the real user.
You can generate a random number/ticket for each report and then all you have to do is report to reddit those numbers which will ease reporting.

It might not be perfect but I might combine your solution with an "abuse" system. If user reports more then XX reports per YY time. attach a random username to the report or don't attach a username, keep it hidden but pops an option to ignore report/snooze/ignore report from this user.
This requires some programming from reddit site but this way it keeps the username hidden and all you see is a "snooze reports from this user" or whatever you'd like to call it
