In the past when I flagged stuff on twitter stuff would go into the black hole. I never felt any sense of closure.
With this new feature I feel like my flag mattered, this makes me more inclined to flag more.
Does it make sense to notify users who flag after a flag is handled by an admin if there is a delay of more than N minutes AND flag was helpful?
Something along the lines of “A moderator reviewed your flag and found it helpful”?
I really like this cause it encourages flagging and to be honest there is not enough flagging going on on many sites. But I get the other side that this could have unknown side effects.
One thing I’d like us to do is send an automatic PM to the user when
their post has been flagged
and
a moderator deletes their post
That is a sort of “flag handling”, so perhaps this could be generalized @sam? I’d like to start with that part if we can, since it matches a lot of routine day to day mod work.
Notifying the flaggers we are kind of doing in the above case when the user edits their post that was flagged to threshold, and that could be further generalized as well.
