Any concerns about over-flagging being a PITA for you mod folk?

there are a lot of "we can potentially", "maybes", "I think" and "still need to discuss this" in Stet's reply.
TBH, conceivably, I need to consider stopping doing this shit. I noticed it at work today too. Like, I can see that if I maybe ever got married, I'd be all "I think I take this woman","in health and potentially sickness", "for richer and poorer, in some circumstances".

Don't know if you are being sarcastic; I was in early to applaud this change from sb to fp tbh
― future debts collector (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:33 (twelve years ago) link
sorry, was just being random -- I just happened to notice today at work that I hedge things too much stimes and that reminded me.
(There really are a few open questions about FP, though.)
― stet, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:36 (twelve years ago) link
Cool. No problem about open q's. I think the new system offers way better options than SB.
― future debts collector (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:38 (twelve years ago) link
We can certainly start weeding out any spurious or baffling flagged posts.This would lead to maybe taking different actions, like (off the top of my head) if all the posts are on one specific board, why not just ban the user from that board as a first step?
amazing that its taken three and a half years but thank you

I do this as a matter of course, and I've done so a ton in the past for loads of people i.e. whiney. I haven't said much about it b/c it isn't really anybody's business that I'm removing their haha-comedy-SBs that were cleary intended as yokes, and pruning back to the legitimate, offensive, complaints. The only way anybody would know if they were getting close/a serious number of undismissable actual SBs is when I (or another mod) tries to send them a private email saying they're getting close, and just to be careful. Maybe this isn't appreciated, because I've never heard back, but I've sent a good dozen of these in the past along the lines of 'hey, I deleted all the fake SBs, and you're still in the realm of ~40, just fyi sincerely remy'
― gnome (remy bean), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:45 (twelve years ago) link
i mean i can be more explicit about every single comedy SB i remove, pruning action but it's gonna be really boring to read, annoying to do, and it'll probably make me do it less. the criteria i use is, i think, pretty upfront:
leave the SB/flag post in place if the content flagged is:
+ racist/sexist/homophobic/whatever in a way that ACTUALLY SEEMS TO OFFEND somebody (hint: no art of pretend offense), and doesn't contribute to a discussion or thread of conversation. context is key here, but SBs for, say clumsily using the word 'retard' in a conversation about the fairness of the word 'retard' are generally safe.
+ a blatant ad hominem
+ an invasion of the privacy, or the explicitly stated and well-known wishes of a poster ('don't connect me to my place of business')
+ spam
+ off-topic pornographic or NSFW in a non-pornographic or NSFW post.
― gnome (remy bean), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
no real need for sb function at all by that token
― teaky frigger (darraghmac), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
thank you stet, i like how this change put the emphasis on a post rather than its poster.
i also like how i can't see it making much difference to the posting future of flagbs.

Is it possible for sub-board mods to see flagged posts on their particular boards? It'd make modding them easier.That's probably not a bad idea at all, actually

Not to ruin the festivities and all but I do want to make it clear that this is a well thought out semantic change, but doesn't change anything about the actual functionality that used to be called suggest ban.
