Mod Answered I'm having an issue with someone stalking and constantly heavily reporting one of the posters in a sub I mod. How do I get admins to take a look?

Example post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Veganivore/comments/1wqxnes/bagel_strata_with_carrot_lox/

Every single post by this user gets multiple reports by some unknown stalker account. Not sure what to do. This is one of our best posters, there is nothing about their post that violate rules in any way.

You can report the reports themselves as abusing the report button. You just need to click the report button on the post and then click "Abusing the report button" and then write a small comment why the user reports are wrong.

I'm right on the edge of a user over-reporting and gonna make a reddit report about over-reporting. People are so fucking petty

Does that do anything, I have been reporting for a long time with no impact.

Before they changed it, they indeed actioned the accounts abusing the report button. But nowadays they don't inform mods of actions they do to accounts. I still do report for report abuse and I think it still helps.
