Can someone illustrate a "Flag" example?

Question

On the Word of The Day (Recorrido) "También" is spelled "Tmbién". Is this a flag, or simply a typo?

I have only used flags when people have used profanity or otherwise made malicious statements that are clearly intended to provoke. :-) - Stadt, Dec 13, 2011

Answer 2

Except for the flag that calls for a moderator's attention because of Spam, Injurious or Offensive language, the flags are fairly useless. No one wants to flag someone for a typo or an inaccurate answer when they were only trying to help since a 10 point penalty is involved.

It is better that you just leave a Comment about the error (and also PM the party if it is a personal error and if you think that the author might not see your Comment), post a Question, or leave Feedback if it is an error that requires Moderator of Staff action.

I think that your posting of this thread was a correct choice. You could also PM the staff member in charge of the Word of the Day or leave Site Feedback to insure that they see this thread or to make them aware of the error.

Appreciations! - kmaakheru, Dec 13, 2011

That is a typo! I have yet to find out what these flags are. I'm ashamed to tell you I thought it was to draw notice to particulatily good answers when I first joined this site. Frankly, I think it's better to leave flagging to other, more experienced members. One of those will very soon explain it all to us!

I just looked, and También appears to be fixed. - pesta, Dec 13, 2011
