| Mar 16, 2017 at 17:10 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @userDepth in this case the comments related to things already addressed into the answer as I recall. (hence obsolete) | |
| Mar 16, 2017 at 2:16 | comment | added | userDepth | The only thing I see against doing this is the theoretical case of details being missed on how the problem is solved. Maybe some question a kind of quest to get solved is it could be incomplete without pin points to comprehend the problem being solved | |
| Mar 4, 2017 at 3:16 | comment | added | user649240 | @terdon Y'all do good work, don't make it too hard on yourselves. Thanks for feedback as well. | |
| Mar 3, 2017 at 10:53 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @GypsySpellweaver I think there might be a way to do it, I've just been discussing this with some other mods. However, even if it is possible to deal with each such flag separately, it is very easy to miss and to deal with all of them together. And, once dismissed (either as helpful or not), we can't go back and correct any mistakes we might have made. | |
| Mar 3, 2017 at 5:02 | comment | added | user649240 | @terdon I found you comment about grouped flags informative, and potentially helpful to someone else. I'm quoting it in my answer in Freelancing Meta. Hope this isn't a problem. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:53 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @terdon Thank you for those kind words! ;-) | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:52 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @ElderGeek please do exactly that, yes. You're doing fine! | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:38 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @terdon Thank you for your input. It's informative that there's an all or none flag dismissal on individual content. It's interesting the complexities we add in an effort to provide ease of use. Oh well, in the absence of specific guidance, I guess my only option is to continue to do what I do and hope for the best. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:34 | comment | added | terdon Mod | Oh, and I didn't handle the flags either, but it does indeed look like you flagged quite correctly. However, it's easy enough to dismiss a flag by mistake and there is no way of dismissing individual flags on the same content for different reasons (that I know of, anyway) so maybe yours was dismissed along with others that were wrong. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:33 | comment | added | terdon Mod | What @ByteCommander said is quite true: we don't get a lot of context with flags and it's sometimes hard to understand why something was flagged. However, the flip side is equally true: very often using the standard flags instead of the custom "mod attention" one makes it easier for us to know what's going on. There's no surefire way of doing this, I'm afraid. Not for you and not for us :/ We just all try to do our best. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:13 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @Seth Thank you, no worries, I'm just trying very hard to do everything right. ;-) | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:09 | comment | added | Seth Mod | I didn't decline the flags (or see them, for that matter). If I disagree with a flag against something I posted I try to get someone else to handle them. Looking into it. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 16:01 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @ByteCommander Thank you for that pointer. I think you may be on to something there. Sometimes the details get lost in the shuffle and we all are sadly capable of making mistakes. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 15:34 | comment | added | Byte Commander Mod | I generally use almost only the custom moderator comment flags and write an explanation, because not any of the default reasons normally describes the situation in a not misunderstandable way. Also sometimes the mods need a little clue on what you are thinking, maybe they're not always checking out the context of the comment. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 15:16 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @muru That's correct in this case. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 14:48 | comment | added | muru | I presume you flagged Seth's comments? | |
