A discussion is underway about the ease with which regular users’ posts can be hidden due to flagging. aboutDavid shares concerns about mass flagging of regulars’ posts that follow community guidelines, suggesting the default flag threshold for regulars should be increased. javaarchive interprets the proposal as requiring more flags to hide a regular’s post, which is echoed by code-alt. aboutDavid cites Discourse’s trust levels, arguing that regulars are less likely to spam or break guidelines. RiversideRocks suggests contacting the moderation team to change settings.
(Hi, I’m new here so please tell me if I made a mistake, also I’m tired so I may not make much sense)
On a few Discourse communities, I’ve seen mass flagging against a few regulars which isn’t spam and follows the different communities’s guidelines and the posts were even restored by the different communities’s staff.
I believe this has been happening on many forums so I believe the default flag threshold for regulars should be raised as many discourse communities use the default limits.
I think he means that there should be more flags will be required to hide a regular’s post so it doesn’t take one or two people to hide a few posts of useful information
Regulars are the backbone of your community, the most active readers and reliable contributors over a period of months, even years. Because they’re always around, they can be further trusted to help tidy up and organize the community.
Ah. It takes only one flag to hide a trust level 3 post. It should take more than that to hide it. Otherwise their is someone going around just flagging every post.
