I’d still prefer the time check to be removed on the flagging mechanism. It makes no sense in this scenario IMO. Just had it again. Threads often wander in a discussion about beer which was obvious as I was just composing a reply to a topic. So the first thing I did was flag my own post as needing a topic split. To make me wait 30 seconds (or whatever) is plain annoying because I’m always going to still flag the post. It won’t make me reflect on whether I should be flagging it will it?

But if you don’t accept this, then yes please fix the bug where it throws away comment when using “Something else”. That’s definitely a bug. A user interface shouldn’t throw away a typed response without being able to correct it.
