The following metrics are used by default in scores at the site level. You can add any metric to a score and weight it as you choose. However, bear in mind that when you add or remove a metric from a score, the changed metric is inherited throughout the entire site. Metrics and their weights cannot be overridden at the group or application (blog, forum, gallery, or wiki) level.

| Abuse Reporter Effectiveness metric This metric measures a user’s effectiveness when flagging content once they have been flagging content. It determines how strong of a flagger abuse reporters should be in future flags. A higher weight for abuse reporter effectiveness should be applied in an established community where users have had a chance to create new content and content is more likely to have been flagged. |

| Aggregate Abuse Reporter metric This metric adds up all the Abuse Reporter scores and adds to the content’s abusive score.
