Someone mentioned it just above but I do miss the old format in terms of its structure. I’m not as much of a fan as the endless feed layout of topics and posts.
I did not know that until just before the old platform closed. A user sent me a PM with the list of some of the moderator sock accounts. Always wanted to go back and see if their sock accounts ever argued with themselves…That there were sock mods? One mod had a few different names.
If you see something that, in your view, has been unjustly flagged, or for a trivial reason, you can request a moderator to review it. I’ve done that a few times and, more often than not, the mod has unflagged the post.The main difference I see is that enough flagging her gets a topic locked before a moderator has time to review it. In the old forum, you “reported” instead…I don’t think a certain number of “reports” got a topic locked. That had to be done by the moderators.
I was there though under a different name. The layout is different but I still like it here.Anyone else remember the old layout? that is still on here now?
It is also used to silence a view that’s not popular. For example if a thread is talking about some good action by Trump and attracting lots of Trump supporters, and someone posts something critical, expect to get flagged. [Or the situation could be the reverse.].I think flags are probably the most misused action we have. Often, it seems like some use it as an alternative to a thumbs down type action…meaning they disagree with a posters opinion, not that it is an inappropriate comment.
