it got flagged by users. The title is incredibly misleading, which seems to be the most likely reason anyone would flag this piece.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoFlagged by users is still a problem. A small number of users can flagkill a post even if it has a high score and an ongoing discussion, and vouching posts back to life almost never happens for the obvious reason that flagkilled posts don't tend to get seen by anyone who might vouch for it.
- Cogito 9y agoIt's a good point, though I don't recall seeing many posts that have been flagged where I think they should be resuscitated. In this case, I think the correct action probably would be to unflag it, and change the title. Maybe the mod's wouldn't do that because it goes against the "community led moderation" they have been trying to introduce more and more of, but this is a case where I think it is warranted. The bigger issue is how to allow the community to say "this title is terribly misleading/clickbait" with the intent to fix the title rather than just hiding the article.
