And why can't you flag it? Is there a quota or something?
- barrkel 13y agoI've lost the ability to flag in the past couple of months, for no reason I can discern. I seldom used it unless I thought the story was very off-topic. Only thing I can think of is accidentally fat-fingering flag on my phone, then a mod revoking my ability in retaliation.
- DanBC 13y agoIf you think this submission is off-topic, and you've flagged other submissions like it, you may have lost your flagging rights. I dislike the way that people say actions are done "in retaliation" or as "retribution" - as I understand it they're largely automated.
- barrkel 13y agoDo you remember the way this site was when it first started out? I've been here a long time, and it's changed. I'm less and less engaged over time. Reddit exists for posts like this one. I used to use 'flag' perhaps 10 times a year. And judging by how mods change post titles, they've clearly - IMHO - drifted into the harmful space.
