So, basically, I haven’t seen a single flagged post vanishing so far :grin: and i likely NEVER will unless i ask for it! i’m aware that i could just annoy everyone until i’ve achieved my goal, but i’m actually really happy around here! i won’t dare breaking any rules, unless it’s for civil disobedie…

yes, of course. i really had no mean intentions. i just wanted to know. the negative reactions surprise me, though. they’re actually making things worse. anyhow, thanks for allowing me to try it. :slight_smile: ps: the “for science” “joke” wasn’t actually intentional at all. :slight_smile:

[image] Morrigan_Laima: A well-established, active contributor might have enough weight to instantly hide someone’s first post with a single flag, So potentialy giving a troll who posts a lot (reputation builds on post count, not post quality) the power to remove someone else’s posts, simply …

just… this… once! :grin: thank you. :slight_smile:

Yes, they might be able to on someone’s first post to the forums. However, it then goes into the moderation queue, and the mods are very likely to ban that troll and override the flag.

uuhhhh you have the high ground; i give up.

wtf, that was for testing purposes

yeah, but the insult doesn’t really hit me and i get that he’s cautious. :slight_smile: no harm done, all in good spirit. :slight_smile: i mean, i know that at least.

WOW we even have the mods of the forum posting spam - There really is no self control. NB; The “report as spam” option needs to be broadened to take in nuisance, irrelevant posts like this one.

And what if it is a “moderator” that is the offender (forum trolls come in many forms, just look at the post below yours for a prime example), you really think they are above it? I don’t…

Then file a support ticket and IA will have the moderator in front of the Inquisition.

Flag experiment concluded!
