Users are experiencing false flags on posts marked as inappropriate by the system, despite no obvious violations like spam or bad language. FelH seeks guidance on configuring or disabling the flagging system. Heather_Dudley suggests the ‘new user typed too fast’ anti-spam rule as a likely cause, referencing a related meta discussion. codinghorror notes a past bug where a like could be mistakenly flagged. dandv confirms the issue persists and can’t locate the flagged post, even though the user’s activity shows no visible content. JammyDodger speculates the issue may stem from a pending post being deleted during approval, though dandv later confirms the post was approved and not deleted by the user.
there are several posts of users on my hosted discourse who are flagged by the system as inappropriate. They do not post links or any bad language. So I dont know why they are flagged. Also I dont know how to help them?!
→ Can I somehow configure flagging by the system and even turn it off?
(found also others with that topic but not that specific)
There recently was a really bizarre and thankfully brief bug around flagging that caused, in some rare circumstances, a like to be counted as a flag. So be sure to update to latest code!
The system flagging we get dont seem because the user typed to fast or used inappropriate links.
Is there another option to somehow configure the system to flag posts?
I’ve just had a quick run-through, and I think it’s from where the user deleted their pending post while it was waiting to be approved. Does this sound like it could be the case?
