Here's a thing about FPs that y'all may not realize: your most recent FP doesn't take the place of an older FP you gave to the same poster. Let's say you flagged Poster Z six months ago and again last week; the details page only shows the older one from you, and when a moderator clears out FPs that are six months old or older, your flag against that poster disappears even though you flagged them again just last week.
So if you're serious about using FP as a tool for policing ILXor behavior, it behooves you to flag every post you object to. For instance, I just looked at one particular poster's FP details and cleaned out their older FPs, dropping them from 26 to 13. If any of those 13 flaggers whose FPs got cleared out flagged that same poster AGAIN in the past six months, there's no record of it.
Maybe stet can tweak the code so that the most recent FP from a poster overwrites an older one, I don't know.

It seems like you are effectively saying that one should flag the poster, not the post.
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 17:52 (four years ago) link
I feel like something is off in your syntax there
it behooves you to flag every post you object to.
how does this square with "removing old FPs clears new ones as well"?

So sorry WmC but I object to that post, it simply had to be done
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 17:58 (four years ago) link
my understanding is that the old FP never gets overwritten by the new one. if you flag a post and an old one still exists, no FP will be added. if you flag a post after the old one has been cleared out, a new FP will be added.

I don't know what I'm saying, except that a poster can only flag one post by another poster at a time, and only the oldest one registers, and when old ones get cleared out, any newer ones that may have existed get cleared out as well. I have muddied the water, ugh.
xp -- yes, crüt has it
― Miami weisse (WmC), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 18:02 (four years ago) link
hmm I would def prefer it if the 6-month clock reset with each new FP
― let's talk about gecs baby (sleeve), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 18:04 (four years ago) link
I agree. Honestly, it hadn't occurred to me to ask stet about this until today, duhhhh
― Miami weisse (WmC), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 18:21 (four years ago) link
easy remedied by flagging the poster at every conceivable reconfirmation of the behaviour that required banning
