Indiscriminate Flagging of Posts

Question

We have traced the member who has been flagging indiscriminately and have asked for an explanation. If a satisfactory answer is not forthcoming a ban will be imposed.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Answer 1

He should have been tied to a post and flogged, sorry flagged.

Very good, hehe, however, it may have been a she, who knows? - Eddy, Dec 1, 2009

jajaja! - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009

jejeje wasn't me! - April-Sarah, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 2

What if I flagged the post about the indescriminate flagging to try to act like the indescriminate flagger who indescriminantly flagged the posts that shouldn't have been flagged?

But if you don't want the Indescriminate flagging of posts to be flagged by a possibly indescriminate flagger then just let me know and I will not indescriminantly flag it.

Hey! Hlsbookworm, there would be a flag on this play for sure. - Moe, Dec 1, 2009

Or maybe just a red card. - Moe, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 3

Yea bookworm, but let's take it further though, let's require 250 across the board per say (rep and etc.). That way, by then it's established that you're a contributing member, and here for the right purposes, because face it, most people don't just hand out votes, and it would become boring to wait around just to hurt others. Right?

If it was the one I think it was, he had 263 rep - so how high do you set the barrier? - sheila-foster, Dec 1, 2009

ok then, for flagging power, lets say 1k then...that's a very high rep to reach. - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 4

Heidi, however, is the epitome of decorum.

Hmmm, please send me the link of this member, en epitome of decorum, we must all meet her, please.

Answer 5

What was the indiscrminately flagging members' name? How does one know that he won't just register again and start once more, flagging indiscriminately?

I think the admins. can see if the same email address is done again, and, wasn't there someone else a while ago who had kept getting on and on with different names? but he's not here anymore, right? so, i would assume there is someway to do it. :-) - hlsbookworm, Dec 1, 2009

lol, yes bookworm you would talking about lkpuede/chumacomalo/(one other I can't say) - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009

They will have to build up a reputation in order to start flagging. We would see it again and it would result in another ban. Heidi and I will not give in when it comes to removing undesirable members, no matter how long it takes. - Eddy, Dec 1, 2009

Undesirable members- hmmm......or maybe they're just misunderstood? :) - Seb79, Dec 1, 2009

no seb, they're definently undesirable...and thanks Eddy we need that dedication. - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009

No, Seb79, that's not right. - --Mariana--, Dec 1, 2009

I think that indiscriminate flaggers should be indicted. They do it to indiscrimate flashers! - 00f2b5a1, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 6

Might it be something to do with the member who posted on yesterday's picture of the day thread, and is now described as "the-unknown"?

Just a thought, as that one comes up as "user does not exist".

Unfortunately, I can't remember who it was - before it was "unknown", that is!

jejeje :) - sunshinzmommie, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 7

Was the person new? I guess what I mean is, did they have any reputation? Maybe a slight solution would make it so that you have to have 15 or 20 reputation before you can flag something, such as you already have for voting, sending messages..etc. Would that at least solve it a little?

Answer 8

So if I went to look at the profile of the person that I thought was doing it, how would I know if the person was banned/deleted...this has effected me personally and I would like to know if it has truly ended.

If you look up a user ID and he no longer is here you'll ge the message "User ID does not exist." - --Mariana--, Dec 1, 2009

thanks... - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 9

Heidi

The link appears below, hehe. The epitome of decorum.

What would we do without this forer.

Answer 10

She´s the one with big ears

jejejejjeje, - 00494d19, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 11

To anybody interested, I believe this person also flagged Heidi and me. I know I can be a shade abrupt sometimes, hehe, but never abusive. Heidi, however, is the epitome of decorum.

Answer 12

The member responsible for the indiscriminate flagging has now been removed from the site.

Answer 13

I don't know who it is, and the only way I can think of is clicking on all of the about 180,000 member's profiles and look on their latest activities. Jeje

Answer 14

And I wouldn't. A troublemaker, pain in the neck or in another part of body, a troll... As an ex-member of SpanishDict, may they rest in peace

Amen. - --Mariana--, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 15

Marianne is quite right - we need to trust the admin to do their job - as they did, quickly and efficiently, yesterday.

I'd still like to know who the ****** was though!

lol, you're funny....me too - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009
