I suppose we could hide it and just have "flagged by user who has made 3000 posts and been registered for 2 years" or s/thing.
that would be better I think.

But even so, a new user is only going to be able to flag someone once, right? Trying to block the possibility that someone is going to register 50 accounts to try to block someone seems to be planning for a really unlikely situation, imo

That modification wouldn't account for long-time-ilxor/everchanging-username dickholes.

wait is this sudden need to have fps anonymized from mods in response to an actual thing or are we just totally strawmanning right now
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
I don't give a damn what a mod sees. It's like a doctor looking up your bum. NBD.
― beachville, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link
It just seems like a wise thing and in line with what other online communities do? idk, it just seems like it'd block potential problems down the road
having them *not* anonymous because we think someone might use a bunch of accounts to over-flag seems like planning for a situation that may not happen
― mh, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
god u guys are SO naive
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
the only other place I know of w/flagging is Metafilter, and they're not anonymous there. also, the "someone might use a bunch of accounts to SB" was a totally common complaint back in the auto-SB days.
I actually don't know why they should be anonymous from site mods. What's the benefit? Saying that biased mod x might have deleted your FP and so some awful user sits at 49, escaping forever? Seems just as unlikely to me.

flagging is a pretty common thing on loads of sites (flag as inappropriate) and its always anonymous (like on CL you dont even have to be registered).

maybe if you think of possible examples of this:
for instance, if someone was the real life victim of something and doesn't want to admit it on board, but tends to flag posts that are in that vein...

Mods have always been able to see who's gone on SB sprees, but they were so unremarkable, and never pushed anyone closer to a 51 who wasn't clearly well on their way to it anyway, that the topic literally -- literally -- has never come up on the mod discussion board. I will say it's been entertaining watching it happen, and seeing who is willing to SB for apparently nothing at all, and who holds it in reserve for a really egregious post.

I was thinking of mefi, too, stet. Are you positive it's not anon there?
― mh, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
yes, certain
― stet, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
Oh hey it's in their FAQ. I stand corrected

I'm still kind of weirded out by the fact the admin interface shows who clicked flag post/sb!
this has always been the case and is A+ sensible, plus one of the best lols I ever had from ILX was finding out who one of my two SBs was for and from what post
― Θ ̨Θƪ (sic), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:43 (twelve years ago) link
See, I could only really lol at it. I wouldn't go on a rampage after whoever sb'd me or anything.
― beachville, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:45 (twelve years ago) link
oh I don't think it should be broadly public
btw everyone notice how warm, agreeable and communal the clusterfuck here on the Flag Post thread is, the FP system works imo, case closed
― Θ ̨Θƪ (sic), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:47 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't realize SB was linked to posts and such anyway, so this has been illuminating
― mh, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:47 (twelve years ago) link
who one of my two SBs was for and from what post
"was from and for which post", sorry
― Θ ̨Θƪ (sic), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
so really FP is identical to SB, but without the auto-kickout at 51
no doubt this has been said already
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:49 (twelve years ago) link
at 51 your username is auto-changed to lou1s j4gger as a precautionary measure

FP is identical to SB but without the words "Suggest Ban" after "Bookmark"
― flopson, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
can we change the wording to "Suggest Bookmark" for bookmarks so there's still a SB?
― mh, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago) link
dude i just flag posted you by accident sorry
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
i was trying to bookmark whilst having a convo
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
it should be 'suggest bookmark' and when you use it sometimes it bokmarks sometimes it doesnt
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
it's ok
Now that I know mods know who flagged, I think there should be a prize in the admin forum if you can guess how many flags you have and who did it
― mh, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
if a mod could remove my accidental flagpost i'd appreciate it
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
Was it me you actually flagged? I wouldn't mind keeping it, as a flag of recognition.
pretty sure I am currently under 10 anyway

aw OK but if any sober mod thinks I shouldn't, pls nuke or scramble this post:
- on an old SB clusterfuck thread, someone or other had argued that SB improved the ILX experience in no way whatsoever. - I had replied "It improves the LOL experience." - 6-12 months later, I learned that I had 2 SBs total, and one of them was from [a pacifist anti-SB mod] on that post
― Θ ̨Θƪ (sic), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
I've never asked for my SB#, but if others are also learning exactly who are clicking their SB/FP buttons, then I want to know too.

You've come this far sharing with all of us, you may as well come the rest of the way.
