| Jul 19, 2011 at 4:10 | comment | added | KCotreau | Then what specifically meets this criteria: "Only flag a question if it has problems that can't be handled by the standard vote to close system"? Because there are none other than who the moderator is who handles it. You have not really answered the question, but have given great excuses for the inconsistencies. | |
| Jul 19, 2011 at 4:09 | comment | added | KCotreau | @nhinkle♦ The second one, which you are trying to defend. The duplicate was easy to find. It was either right below or a three more below, I no longer remember. You guys aren't smart enough to figure that out? You can't click on the user to see? They certainly had no problem finding it to totally delete it, so how is your "where?" a valid answer to the question. This is also not even a case where your comment about closing is valid. Give it up. You will make an excuse to rationalize anything you and the good old boys do. | |

You flagged inappropriately, so it was marked invalid. Flagging is for issues which are more serious than a question just being off topic. That's how it is. | |
| Jul 19, 2011 at 3:33 | comment | added | jcolebrand | You're right, you never need to flag anything. Eventually those things will be found. By flagging you'll help everyone. You also don't need to upvote, edit, ask or answer. | |
| Jul 19, 2011 at 3:25 | comment | added | KCotreau | Based on your answer, you never need to flag anything. Why does it even exist? Nothing personal, your rational is flawed. Also, I did nothing I have not done before. If you don't want to handle flagging, then do away with the deputy badge since that is why most people probably do it. You guys are very inconsistent as a lot so if you close it, you should not mark it as invalid. | |
| Jul 19, 2011 at 2:24 | comment | added | jcolebrand | What he said. Also, remember what team@ declared: Moderators are human exception handlers. The only time you should care about your flag weight is when it rapidly approaches 1. At that point, you'll probably have had some words with a moderator already, and you'll be aiming for 1. Otherwise, even knowing what your flag weight is is a privilege. Most users will never know, and that's fine. That's what we want. Consider it a private badge of honor. Otherwise, I shall be forced to slap you with a limp trout (humor, it's good for the sole) | |
