It’s still early for our relatively small site but this is looking promising. In the month prior to changing this, 18 folks did that tutorial step and 4 flagged it wrong. In the month+ since 17 have done that step and 0 got it wrong. The new text adds a few more details about why you might flag a post but I’m guessing it’s the very small change to the final sentence that’s doing most of the work:
We like our discussions friendly, and we need your help to keep things civilized. If you see a problem, please flag to privately let the author, or our helpful staff, know about it. There are many reasons you might want to flag a post ranging from an innocuous thread-splitting suggestion to a clear-cut standards violation. If you select “something else,” you’ll start a private message discussion chain with the moderators in which you can ask further questions.
