Curious why this was flagged.

  As am I.

    I'm going to go with the 'too political' theory, given the experiment that's currently underway. It might be worth bringing this up in discussion when the experiment concludes.
    • Klathmon 10y ago
      That experiment has ended already.

        Interesting... Maybe this a lingering effect of encouraging a politics-free environment.

  Same here, particularly considering it's just a Bloomberg news article about a website. How are flagged stories reviewed?

  Users flagged it. They don't tell us why, so we don't know why. It may have been the title, so we changed it to the subtitle.

    It may have been the title, so we changed it to the subtitle. Switching titles based on flags doesn't sound like a very efficient approach. Maybe you could add a text box or a pulldown for a private comment to the moderators when flagging? Requesting a reason for a flag doesn't seem like too much of a burden, and seems like it would make you much more productive when reviewing. And as a user, it would be nice to have a way to clearly flag "dupes", "broken links", "typo in title", etc. without worrying about being misinterpreted. Would also be nice to be able to suggest alternative titles or URL's in some easy "out of band" manner rather than in a comment or email.

      We bat that idea around from time to time and may try it. If we do, though, it will be a way that preserves the option of rolling it back if it doesn't pay for its supper. I fear increasing complexity.
