I would also love a toolbox change that asks you to confirm intent if you are flagging something; no idea what that would take programming-wise, though.
So per B's suggestion and to avoid any future issues, when ever you flag a post you will get a confirmation window:
"OK" & "Just Joking" ?
Quote: BleedingChipsSlowlyPreviously, the "Flag" button would display for my account, but grayed as to indicate disabled. I would use it, but didn't know if action was recorded. Now the button doesn't appear at all. I would help if you let me, but I'm fine with it if you don't want help.
I believe it only shows for new members.
Zuga, I commend you for using couldn't care less correctly.
I used to wish for that feature when I used to be a moderator. Too damn easy to delete posts or threads by accident. Particularly when using a small device like a smart phone. I do think I deleted a couple by mistake.
Even so, I do think it's a good idea even for not moderators.
Now that I think of it, can that dialog box include a message about what flagging does? I.E. Something like: "Based upon your membership status, your Flag action is xx% of the required total needed to delete this post/thread."
That is correct, thanks!Quote: GWAEI believe it only shows for new members. ...

Quote: RSZuga, you should make a moderator-only forum, and whenever a post gets deleted (by admin) or flagged off (deleted by community), instead of it being deleted, it should be auto-sent to the moderator-only forum....a trash-can if you will.
Interesting idea but i fail to see how it would benefit the Mods ? i think it would just create additional work as such posts would have to be deleted from that Mod forum yet again.
Plus I'm kinda bummed that my idea wasn't implemented:

The posts wouldn't have to be deleted -- that's the whole point. They remain in the mod-only forum as an archive. As long as they're off the public forum, for all intensive(?) purposes, it's "deleted". Plus, mod-only forums serve as a good/necessary way of communication among moderators. Every other forum I've been on / been an admin or mod on, has had such forums.

Maybe they could add a feature to automatically delete anything over 30 days old, that way they don't have to bother cleaning it out.
Since sometimes there's a discussion whether something was okay to post or not, I can see keeping a limited time archive of deleted posts.
