@PatrickHofman nice

@rene Do you know French? Going to take a stab at it?

jurgemaister

I've noticed a lot of the "Why are my flags being declined" posts on meta lately (I even posten one myself), and really, a lot of my flags the last few weeks have been declined due to ending up in the Triage que and people just blindly clicking "Looks OK"

rene

I'm on it

Lynn Crumbling

k

jurgemaister

So I've got declined flags on terrible questions with many downvotes that won't be handled because of the Triage que

Lynn Crumbling

2:00 PM

@jurgemaister Ah.. I didn't realize that flags could be handled via the triage queue.

jurgemaister

I understand that it's probaby there to relieve the close vote que, but I don't think it works

Guess I should make a meta post about it instead of complaining to you guys

Lynn Crumbling

@Rene There's one more bit of french in the first two sentences.

nice.

I'd say a meta post is the better option indeed @jurgemaister

PeterJ

@jurgemaister I asked a similar question about how it works: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/289386/…

Patrick Hofman

@jurgemaister If that is the case you definitely could. Is it declined or disputed? (As far as I know, only mods can decline)

jurgemaister

2:03 PM

Sorry, declined. I mix up the terminology

wait. disputed. ja

rene

@LynnCrumbling done

jurgemaister

@PeterJ Seems like on every of those meta posts, all the mods agree that the flagged posts aren't salvageable which further proves my point that the Triage que doesn't work
