The troubleshooting steps are posted on EVERY TRAINER and EVERY PAGE and with EVERY POST of a trainer. Perhaps we need to require a minimum of 5 people reporting an update is needed before we even look at it. The problem if we do not have some kind of measures in place is that after enough people "cry wolf" we simply will just start ignoring the cries until a few days later which will just delay those trainers that DO require an update. Of course we want to help those people with problems but constantly reporting to us after every single patch that a new trainer is required when 95% of the time it does not is impeding our ability to effectively do our job. All I am asking for is feedback on a possible solution to the problem.
5 people seems a bit extreme, even I myself once had a trainer I couldn't get working when all I forgot to do was run it as admin. Now I didn't post about it just kept trying different things. But I personally test a trainer extensively before saying it doesn't work, and honestly never encountered where it didn't work besides it being an old ass game that has been retired or something, my point is if I report a trainer working I like to think I'm right and like kingkob said not all lurk on CH as much as some of us do but adding an invisible "rank ladder" to the severity a report is taken feels wrong when I think about it, tho it's a solution. That being said, I got a bit of a long shot solution could always get a couple of loyal CH users like you did with the CH promo club that when a game is reported with a trainer not working, to save YOU guys the time to go and test let those test it for you instead, if they do encounter issues themself then Cal or 0x90 can then redownload the game, but that kinda goes back to the "rank ladder" again lol. If you like the idea tho, let me know and I can try and explain in detail how I see it working out.
Voluntary work that is of course, I would personally be willing to offer my assistance

Deputizing certainly seems like a very good Idea. I'd probably volunteer.
I am not adverse to penalizing per se, since it won't affect me, it'd just be curious as to how? and how it might effect the CH community (most of the ones reporting issues without testing properly are probably lurkers anyway, but still.) I think it should be more of a last option kinda thing.
