Make sure you flag correctly. If you flag something a comment as rude but it isn't (but is obsolete), the flag would be declined, but the comment deleted, for example.
Different people have different criteria - a comment may be one that several different flags apply to - make sure you use the most appropriate one and give a good flag summary.
Sometimes the whole post should be removed - why flag comments in that case?
@Oded Several users have deleted comments themselves, when part of the conversation was butchered. That could explain declined flags, yet disappearing comments.
@LaszloPapp No they can't. You are both underestimating the number of comment flags moderators have to deal with and how much effort moderators would put into identifying people.
I am trying to suggest a tag synonym but I keep getting the message that I need +5 score in the tag. I crossed that mark today only, so should I wait till UST tomorrow?
@JoshC, I've been following the Tavern since the early morning, and it was simply hijacked by MY Downvotes, MY Flags, MY Reputation, MY Comments, MY Whatever.
I'm having some mental issues, it's about downvotes and answers ... Generally, I don't like to downvote answers since the authors are trying to help the OP. I know that downvoting wrong answers is encouraged, well that's my opinion. I'm someone who watch over the regex tag (on SO) and I'm sick of those questions "Gime the codez". Trying to close those questions too. But now, I'm wondering. I see several high rep users (sometimes +50K) answer those low efforts questions. Should I downvote them and leave a note that (s)he should vote to close it ?
(The proposed duplicate question discusses giving these questions better titles and closing as duplicates where applicapable. I am specifically pointing out the vast number of "give me the code" questions which show no effort at all, and aren't closed.)
We have beaucoup (lots, a plethora, gobs) ...

Note: This is a question about possibilities of modern regex flavors. It's not about the best way to solve this using other methods. It's inspired by an earlier question, but that one is not restricted to regex.
The Problem
In an ASCII "image"/art/map/string like:
....X.......
..X..X...X....

@Bart: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/196135/… someone is claiming I wrote that someone did something "seriously wrong". Can you point me out where that is written in the post? I simply cannot find it in the last variant, at least.
Shog9: thanks for cleaning up the noise there. I am grateful for it.
Shog9: can you clean up the noisy here, too, for instance the comments under my post? I do not think that is going anywhere either. I asked for details from the person, but getting nothing. This way, we will just keep arguing uselessly. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/203176/…
Shog9: the only bad thing is that posts cannot be edited which are locked.
Should not commenting and editing be decoupled? It also blocks improving the current content.
