- ok_dad 4y agoI get it, I do, and I'm a good boy around here as much as humanly possible, but this ain't no ordinary level of back-button-evil. There were hundreds of back-button edits. It was quite uncommon and interesting, IMO. Thanks for what you do here, too, btw.
- causi 4y agoThe question is, at what point does user-hostile site behavior become more than tangential? Surely if, for example, a page contained malware that would warrant at least a mention in the comments. Personally I appreciated your warning.
- Flockster 4y agoTrue, I did not interact with the page yet (did not scroll, klick or else and uBlock origin activated) and have as of this point 6 back entries in my Firefox-Tab for the page.
- auggierose 4y agoInteresting, this comment appeared collapsed, although I didn't open this topic before. I guess that was an administrative intervention.
- causi 4y agoYep. When that happens without users flagging the comment it doesn't get a [flagged] tag. It's unfortunate, because you can end up temporarily muted from commenting with a history full of nothing but positive-scored unflagged comments and have no idea how you angered the powers-that-be.
- FeepingCreature 4y agoThanks, this comment was very helpful.
