I'm not actually sure what the karma threshold is for flagging, I've already crossed it on this which is my alt account. Perusing active at the moment it looks like a fairly quiet time for flagging, though the example didn't get to active so it's a lopsided sample. The flagged articles are roughly: - UBI doesn't work because the poor are lazy - 2 different aliens/UFOs related articles - Zohran Mamdani and reaction of tech scene in NYC - Israeli settler violence in the west bank I don't really see a compelling argument that any of these except perhaps west bank violence is worthy of a flag. We have tools to deal with these topics already such as the front page fall off for flame wars. I don't think the site is enhanced by flagging in it's current state and absent a larger change like increasing the flag karma to be closer to vouch karma so recovery is less lopsided, I think at least being transparent about flagging helps restore confidence in the system and would help reduce conspiracy thinking. |
