Thanks!
- mrunkel 6y agoUntil 5 minutes ago, me either. :)
- gus_massa 6y agoYou need a minimal amount of karma to get the "vouch" button, probably 200 or 500.
- onyva 6y agoI have 800 and I don’t see such an option. Also, it’s still flagged.
- zimpenfish 6y agoI think it's several thousand and/or some other combination of factors because I don't have the [vouch] button yet.
- mrunkel 6y agoI have 932. Maybe 900 is the threshold?
- dang 6y agoThe threshold is > 30, same as for flagging. 'vouch' links only show up when an item is [dead], though.
- connorspeers 6y agoI’m having trouble finding concrete information about the vouch button. Seems like it shows for some users but not all. Do you happen to know if there’s any official information on this? Thanks for your help! I will keep looking once I’m not on mobile.
- mrunkel 6y agoI found this on the FAQ page: > Q: In my profile, what does showdead do? > A: If you turn it on, you'll see all the stories and comments that have been killed by software, moderators, or user flags. > If you see a [dead] post that shouldn't be dead, you can vouch for it—when enough users do this, the post is unkilled. Click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'vouch' at the top. There's a small karma threshold before vouch links appear.
- connorspeers 6y agoHot damn. So that’s what that setting does. I thought it just triggered zombies or something, never gave it a second thought. This is the explanation I was looking for. I wish you all the karma, thanks!
