curprev 06:5506:55, 20 January 2022‎ EEng talk contribs‎ 4,822 bytes +4‎ →‎Background: Well for that matter, "reports" could be a disease, so "get reports" might mean the noticeboard contracts some illness. Also, noticeboards can't really comprehend anything, so it would be more appropriate to say that other editors get reports (not a disease, though) VIA various noticeboards undo
curprev 05:4305:43, 20 January 2022‎ 85.193.252.19 talk‎ 4,818 bytes −9‎ "There are OFTEN reports on..." sounds like: "There are MANY TIMES reports on..." You could write: "OFTEN there are reports on...", or more naturally: "There are FREQUENT reports on..." because "frequent" is an adjective while "often" is an adverb. However "reports ON various noticeboards" can also mean "reports ABOUT various noticeboards", so my proposal is: "Various noticeboards, especially the incident noticeboard, OFTEN get reports..." undo
