I lost 10 rep for being flagged

Question

I don't know something is spam until after it's had several answers. I resent the punishment which I do not deserve. I didn't create the spam. My purpose here is to learn and teach good Spanish and English not how to be a computer internet whiz or geek (take your pick).

Now, are you going to take points away from me for posting this?

Thats not cool. - 0080b918, Jun 4, 2013

Who would do that? It's very unfair. I think you should complain to management. - 0095ca4c, Jun 4, 2013

Maybe somebody hit the wrong button? Or maybe it's just some spammer joining SD to cause trouble. - Findy, Jun 4, 2013

You don't deserve that. Here, have 10 points from me. :) - Findy, Jun 4, 2013

And 10 more from me! - francobollo, Jun 4, 2013

Diez para usted. - whitesoxfan, Jun 5, 2013

Sometimes some idiot will flag you for no reason other than "you can´t fix stupid", so here is another 10 for you. - 005faa61, Jun 5, 2013

I have lost count of the number of times I have been flagged mate ,and banned once, here is a vote from me again. - ray76, Jun 5, 2013

How did you get banned?! - 0080b918, Jun 5, 2013

I'll send you some spare badges. I've been banned once too, that was upsetting, the odd flag happens. - annierats, Jun 5, 2013

Answer 1

I will take nothing.

How are you, amigo? ¿Estás estudiando mucho? - Jubilado, Jun 4, 2013

Great! and how are you?? - 0080b918, Jun 22, 2013

Answer 2

Don't get frustrated. It is after all a system of points, which really it does not measure your knowledge of any language. What's more, I would say that mostly is driven by friendship and other similar feelings.

The real thing is that you are helping to build and keep the community with your answers and your questions. That's the commendable part!

EDIT:

I forgot to add that if you need a transfusion of points we can arrange that at the nearest American Red Point for a donation.

Great answer, and I love the low-rider, Chileno. Take care. :) - Findy, Jun 4, 2013

Gracias, amigo - Jubilado, Jun 4, 2013

well said chileno:) - chellapadua, Jun 4, 2013

Thank you, I would bow, but I don't have one...now I'll have to procure me one... :-D - chileno, Jun 5, 2013

Hey man, that Chevy needs some shock absorbers - 005faa61, Jun 5, 2013

Answer 3

@ Jubilado. I had seen the flag and removed the flag and had wondered how to stop the newer members from "wrongly" flagging. Several newer members have been doing this lately.

I will be working with the Administrators about this issue. If a member feels they are unfairly flagged please let the Moderators know or use the feedback button.

I do realize points lost, unfairly, is not a good feeling, but as Chileno says the important thing is learning and sharing. Hopefully this response is helpful, too, that you have been heard.

Thanks! Points shmoints! I just didn't like being accused of "spamming". Don't do it on my computer. Don't do it on a plate. Hope there are no more incidents for anybody. - Jubilado, Jun 5, 2013

When I was here for only 1 day , I wondered what the flag meant and pressed it , Lazarus was not amused , I don't think he ever forgave me. - ray76, Jun 5, 2013

Answer 4

I hope that this makes you feel better Jubilado.

My great grandfather lost his reputation by being Flogged.

Ray, You know how to make people feel better. I'm a lot more savvy now about these things. - Jubilado, Jun 5, 2013

Re Lazarus: his avatar or Apollo I believe was very revealing about his self image and perceived importance on this site. No doubt some other entity is basking in his light. - Jubilado, Jun 5, 2013

Lazarus ,had the clearest mind I know , his knowledge of all languages was legendary , I would love to had been closer to him , his erudition was beyond question. - ray76, Jun 6, 2013

Answer 5

Here is a vote mate, I lost hundreds of points last weekend because my system was frozen by them , don't know why , it has happened in the past , just the way it is mate grin and bare all. - ray76, Jun 5, 2013

You'll soon earn them again! - annierats, Jun 5, 2013

Una vota = $10,000, somos iguales. - Jubilado, Jun 4, 2013

Hey! readytodictate for dictatorship!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) - chileno, Jun 5, 2013

Answer 7

I can feel your frustration.Sorry about that,the administration should do something about it.

I think they are trying to. I may have to have them shut down this question of mine. I'm starting to get a little embarrassed (tener avergüenza) from all the attention. - Jubilado, Jun 5, 2013
