Thanks for the explanations. So, I guess this leads to the question, what is to prevent someone to abuse the flagging system by just going around and flagging any random post? Is there any recourse against it?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
None that I'm aware of, other than getting into a flag war. And, strictly speaking, random flagging isn't abuse since people can flag for any reason, including random chaos.
But the site has a strong libertarian/anarchist design bias that in the long run incentivizes "good behavior".
Does it use up vote power to flag someone? If two people got into a flag war, would that use up their vote power?
jb, wombat is a well known censorship cop. Sure anyone can flag for any reason but only butthurt leftist retards flag things because of a difference of opinion.
JB, as you can see, trolls follow you everywhere.
But to answer your question, yes and yes.
