A little while ago I asked (Should I flag comments such as “I agree”, “+1 for x”, or “I changed x in my post”?) if certain kinds of comments should be flagged as useless, and got told that I should just flag it if it did not contribute to the question/answer.
This is reinforced by this answer, which states that comments that are obsolete, wrong, "noisy" (too talkative), rude/insulting, or useless should be flagged.
So I started flagging tons of useless comments all over the place. I was pretty careful about what I flagged, most of them got accepted, and everything was hunky-dory for a while.
Then my comment flags started getting rejected. All of them. Here is a sampling (of just the ones that I got the URLs for):
- I have 16GB RAM. Do I need 32GB swap?
- I have 16GB RAM. Do I need 32GB swap?
- I have 16GB RAM. Do I need 32GB swap?
- How do I reset my Unity configuration?
These comments are clearly not useful. My question is, why are these (and many other) comment flags getting rejected? Is there an auto-reject trigger that activates if a user flags too many comments at once? Did I get on the bad side of some moderator? Did I do something wrong? What is going on?
