Is it possible for sub-board mods to see flagged posts on their particular boards? It'd make modding them easier.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
I think I like this a LOT better than the SB process, because this can really get the mods to understand exactly where an issue stems from.

"flagged posts" are good posts that i want to save to read again later, right?
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:24 (twelve years ago) link
On the policy q, as we talked about on sandbox this doesn't change it so much as reflect how it has been working for a good while -- we disabled the automatic banning of users after a certain number of SBs a long time ago.
What has been happening is that mods have been monitoring users getting SBs, reviewing posts that were getting SBd etc, and taking action when they get past a certain level.
This change reflects that -- you click it on a post and you're no longer saying "machine, ban this person if enough people agree with me", you're saying "mods, look at this post and take action if you agree it's required".
Which is, I think, a slightly different message, especially if you're banned as a consequence, even if the literal actions of "a load of ilxors clicked a link, a mod stepped in and the user got the hammer" don't change.

― stet, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:28 (twelve years ago) link
thanks stet. personally i think the term is a little less clear than "suggest ban" (like i was joking above obv but i think someone could actually think "flag post" means something like "save this to read later" like when you flag an email in outlook) but if it works the same way then it's cool.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, but does it matter which post we SB/flag, when it's really about wanting the poster banned?
― sarahell, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:30 (twelve years ago) link
Confirming this will flag the post for the attention of the moderators.
Posters whose posts are repeatedly flagged may be limited from posting or banned.
Flag this post for moderation.

I think it does, I mean if some random googler shows up says some odious, racist shit in one thread but otherwise harmless talk in a couple other threads, it should be easy for the mods to figure out where the issue stems from.

It does insofar as it would be better to want somebody gone for something specifically objectionable they've posted, rather than just for being who they are.

It wasn't just trying to be charitable, I thought it was an applicable example. If a new poster shows up and seems fine in most threads, but is being really questionable in another, we can point to the problem so its not just like a "we don't like this new guy" thing.

I didn't Sb Whiney this time, so it came as a surprise to me that he got 51ed because I hadn't seen anything uncool written by him.
I'm not a moderator, but I could see where it would be confusing.
I'm still ready to hear what the new policies are. Do you have to have the same post KerPowed 51 times? 51 posts once each? Is 51 even a number anymore? Are the 30 day temp bans still the same?
― pplains, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link

Serious question: Does Flag Posts have anything to do with why bookmarking is muffed up for me now? Now when I click "Bookmark" on a post, I am redirected to uppermost post displayed. This was not the case about 30 minutes ago.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
tbh I unfairly didn't give the mods any real warning abt this change after it was discussed on sandbox, so don't have any real policy changes yet. That said, I feel that 51 individual users saying "take action about this user" is still a strong signal, and is about the right level for action to be taken.
We can potentially focus thinking more on posts now than before -- "51 users objected to these specific posts by this user" -- and I'm thinking about tools that would help with that. 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?
If a user does get a site ban after a load of users flag their posts, I think that should still stay at a month off for the first offence, getting progressively steeper until potentially permaban. But again, need to discuss this a bit.
tldr: if 51 users have flagged your posts in the past six months, and they strike us as reasonable complaints, I'd expect a ban of some kind.
― stet, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
Je55e: yeah, this is another change -- thinking is that it takes you right back to the list of bookmarks so you can choose another one to read.

On the mod side, I don't think anything has changed.
Do you have to have the same post KerPowed 51 times? 51 posts once each?
No and no. As before, if a poster, not a post, gets flagged 50 times within 6 months, the rule of thumb has been to give them a one month ban on the 51st.

If 31 does become the new threshold, I propose we still call it being 51'ed, for the sake of tradition, much as being bounced from a bar is called being 86'ed for reasons I've never understood.
