It’d be nice if there was some way to challenge a flagged post.
As an example, I just got my reply in a SPAA post about how vehicles are still rendered beyond 20km taken down. Some guy was claiming that vehicles were unloaded after 20km, so I proved him wrong by showing images of a 2S6 being loaded past 20km and 30km with my Tornado’s Litening pod. Since he was making things up and lying to people, I did tell him to stop lying, but I didn’t insult the guy.
I believe this abuse of the system needs some kind of counter. Serial reporters who report things they dislike should see ramifications of some kind.
I figured I’d bring this up again since I’ve seen many posts echoing the same belief. There are a lot of people here who will report you if you disagree with them or prove them wrong. I believe that’s not okay.

A bigger effect of the flagging system is if your main first post is flagged enough it doesn’t turn up on the thread feed.
There’s so much abuse of this ‘feature’ that it should’ve been disabled as soon as it started being mentioned that it was being abused.

You should be able to edit the post to remove the flag, but adding a community moderation system like this isn’t exactly a stellar idea.
False flags should be punished more than they are.
Maybe the additon of a disike button, or the confused reaction from the old forum, could prevent players from being trigger happy with flags.

I did edit it. I revised my words to be somewhat nicer, though they really weren’t rude to begin with lol
I don’t understand how this system even works but it seem there are some guy in forum love to flag mine

Free speech absolutist here. I liked the old system where I was still able to see the hidden post. I am not a snowflake or a child that words would offend or hurt me. Afterall I grew up in the 90’s / early 2000’s with CS:S and COD lobbies. :D
You would often find good info or the only correct answer or even some hilarious replies in those hidden flagged posts in the old forum system. Not anymore. I frankly hate censorship no matter who is being silenced.
I am sure they won’t change it, but the least they could do is to show under the flagged post who specifically reported it.

That’s straight assumption on so many fronts that you flagging others is just stupid, and misguided…

The issue is though, that you don’t know who is flagging your posts, so you’re just randomly flagging who you think flagged yours.
And if those who did get flagged also did the same as you do, then there’s a lot of random conspiracy flagging going on.

This thread simply breaks rule 3.8.
If you have any sort of doubt about moderation you guys should simply PM a moderator.
