Is the flagging of articles an absolute number? How does the article get 100+ upvotes but still flagged? Does it mean it early hit the flag threshold to get flagged and later got the votes, or that the flags continue to outweigh the upvotes?

I'm happy to answer but I don't think I quite understand your question!

I was curious if the 'flagged' note that is added to articles is triggered based on a ratio of "flag"/upvotes or if it is a flat number.

To clarify an example of what I mean:

For example, if the maximum flag ratio: is 0.5, and if an article has 10 flags / 19 upvotes, then the ratio of 10/19 is > 0.5 and the flag gets triggered.

Or maybe it's just a flat number, such that any article with >20 flags is flagged.

I'm sure it's more complicated than either example, but was just curious if you could share the approximate way the 'flagged' note is added to articles?

Ah ok. It's definitely not a flat number—it depends on both flags and upvotes.

As you say, it's more complicated than a simple ratio, but I guess you could call it ratio-like :)

Thank you for the reply.
