Feedback-I'd like to see a more clear process for handling getting flagged.
I was flagged twice this evening, and I believe unfairly. The Rules and Guidelines suggest that moderators respond to flags, but no one contacted me as to why I was flagged, and the reputation stream did not list any mention of the deduction of points.
I actually had no idea originally that I had even been flagged. I only found out by way of someone commenting on my question about why we would not be allowed to know via the reputation stream/log why points were deducted. Thankfully, also, the person who flagged me responded to that question. (The actual question itself I posed there remains unanswered).
I deleted the comments the person found offensive, apologized, respectfully explained my position, and asked them how we move forward. (at the time of this posting, I have yet to receive a response.) I noticed that people are voting me up on various answers, but I am not receiving points, presumably because I was flagged, and still remain in some sort of limbo status.
My suggestions are:
1-Just as the reputation stream lists when we gain points for specific things, it should list deductions (and link to associated comments if applicable)
2-Alternative or in addition to #1, there be some sort of notification sent to a user when they are flagged.
3-A formal resolution process for handling disputes if a user feels they have been unjustly flagged.
4-Edit our Rules and Guidelines so they are more detailed about how the "flagging" process works.
Thanks for consideration.

I feel bad that you had to go through this tonight. I posted a question the other day about how to best communicate our emotions when posting a question or answer. This stemmed from comments that went back and forth between to other users. It is easy to see how tempers can flare between two people, especially because the written word does not convey whether we are joking, serious, angry, etc.
I can see your point and you have made some good suggestions. Theoretically,if someone is cranky or has issues with another user, they could flag a comment, causing the poster reputation points at any given time. I'm sure the fact that you have lost rep points is not your number one priority. It seems like you just want a proper explanation and a response from the person who flagged you. I read all of the comments that were flagged, and to be honest, I did not see a problem with what you were saying. You were defending someone who said that she had done what she could to translate something herself, but still needed help. In my opinion, I have read things which used much stronger language and were so much more inflammatory.
With that being said, you have done everything possible to rectify the situation. The ball is now in the other court. Call me crazy, but I think you should have your rep points returned and have a few more added because you were willing to handle things in such a mature manner. I hope things work out, Nicole
I will speak with Chris (the website creator) about this. Maybe he can alter the flagging part of the program to let people be more specific about why they flagged as well as send a message to the person flagged that includes the reasons. Thank you for bringing this up. You may also want to post your concerns using our feedback form.

You can only receive 200 reputation points per day. Ten of those points can come from you voting up other people's questions/answers and the remaining come from people voting up your questions/answers.
I saw on your profile that you've reached your maximum 200 for today. Check to see if you begin receiving points later tonight (when the 24 hour mark passes and it's considered another day).
Saludos, Marianne
