I have to agree (no pun intended) with this topic. Agree/Disagree confuses me when I occasionally do a review. I just disagreed and am not really sure what happened. Now that post is under “rejected” and I don’t really know what that means either (in both cases, is the question about the post or the flagging itself? Disagree → Rejected makes it sound like the post was removed).

To add to my confusion, I feel that I may have removed this post which I didn’t want to do, and I can find it under the “rejected” search. But I don’t see a way to revert my decision. Also it says post removed by author, so I don’t know if that was a result of my action or something they did independently. Maybe they actually did that after it was initially flagged, and that’s why I have no way to restore it. But if so why was I being asked to review it in the first place.

Trying to wade through this makes me feel like a _dumb user_, and although I know I could figure this out I also know this is usually a smell of user experience that needs a rethink. At least that’s how I approach the “dumb users” on my site.
