These two days someone flagged me like 15 times even when my comments had nothing to do with violation of rules, some of the flagged comments were even suggestion-comments
I ask for the person who does this to contact me in private chat and tell me in person what does he have against me instead of flagging everything I write
I’m sorry for making this thread but enough is enough
Really the only reason it gets abused is because it’ll censor posts with no moderator confirmation at all.
Of course I’m against censoring anything that isn’t spam, porn, or gore to begin with.
If your comment on reddit gets enough downvotes it is automatically hidden, no? This is the parallel I was drawing
Best thing to ask yourself is would you talk to your mum in the same fashion? helps keeps things civil and nice.
Disputes on the forums are confidential so I’d encourage not trying to discover who is doing what. If they felt comfortable with approaching you directly i’m sure they would.
I’m sure it’s being done in good faith. Some people view certain user content as a violation of the rules that some may not. That’s why there’s categories to select when flagging a post that may concern you.
The best thing we can all do is continually strive to foster an environment of open and civil discussion between players. If we do that the flag button will most undoubtedly gather dust.
