user259867
@bjb568 I think this change means the end of flag weight, but I may be wrong.
 
@Frank There's no "i" in "denial"
 
@Behaviour I don't think so.
@Doorknob冰 I don't think so.

A: What is the difference between disputed and declined flags?

bfavarettoDeclined flag: the flag has been reviewed by a moderator who did not agree with you. Disputed flag: one or more non-moderators disagreed with you. A common cause is a Looks Good review. There is no flag weight anymore.

 
12:11 AM
@Frank YES, YOU DID

O.o
 
user259867
12:31 AM
I edited it a bit more, to make the whole thing flow better.
 
@Behaviour so just the description for a disputed SPAM flag is missing
 
user259867
If I flag something as spam, but it's deleted by a mod not as spam (they simply delete), is the flag disputed or helpful?
 
@Behaviour The mod would have to explicitly decline the flag, I believe. So it would be declined/disputed
That bit me once when I tried to just delete something with a spam flag on it, the 100 rep penalty kicked in without me explicitly touching the spam flag
 
@Behaviour helpful
 
here, let's test it
 
12:35 AM
That feel when you figure out how to solve the thing you've spent all day googling
That feeling of shame when you realize how simple it is and stupid you are
 
@UndotheSnowman no need to test, there's a recent MSO post about an audit where someone flagged as spam, the OP deleted and it was marked as helpful
 
@Braiam right, that was the OP.
 
user259867
@UndotheSnowman I flagged as spam. :)
 
okay, deleting it without explicitly touching the spam flag
 
checks behaviour flag
 
12:38 AM
that marks it helpful, but the spam penalties kicked in
 
you got -100 rep?
 
@Braiam it's a meta post, so no. But I know the penalty kicked in
 
user259867
But it was your own post....
 
just undelete and dismiss the spam flag
 
@Behaviour Don't think it matters here
 
user259867
12:39 AM
I can also flag that question if you don't want to keep it around. :)
 
Now if I retroactively dismiss that flag...
gah where'd the button go? :/
 
inb4 FR that selfdelete post with spam flag shouldn't be marked it as helpful
 
ah there
there, killed the penalty
And that undeleted the post
 
user259867
Now the flag is disputed.
 
really?
 
user259867
12:40 AM
Yes, I refreshed the flag summary page and "helpful" changed to "disputed".
 
So there's your answer
 
user259867
I forgot what the question was.
 
How to get a disputed SPAM flag
 
@Behaviour disputed if the mod screws up and accidentally leaves the flag and deletes the post, then clears the spam flag, declined if they decline it before deleting. Helpful if they delete and just leave it.
 
user259867
@UndotheSnowman I have a disputed spam flag [perhaps my mistake] on this meta post; what happened to it? (I don't have 10K).
 
user259867
12:44 AM
It's the one of my 221 spam flags on meta that's not helpful.
 
@Behaviour I don't have shiny mod tools here to see the timeline, but my guess is that it got deleted manually, then the spam flag was invalidated, then it was manually deleted again.
The user is still around
It probably shouldn't be
Pulsa Murah, Indonesia

I think that's what happened, you'll need someone with more power than me to verify

Too broad.
 
Ok, good question then.

Q: How much information should be given on the front page?

bjb568On the front page, you must strike a balance between site information, stuff that would make the user want to stay, and page speed (a larger page takes longer to serve/download/render and I imagine usually increases cognitive load). I have a site which is largely made up of user contributed cont...

I don't remember more cases that result in a disputed flag @beh, but this is the most accurate you can get meta.stackexchange.com/a/95277/213575
 
user259867
I added a link to "the difference between" posts, because one question naturally leads to the other.
 
user259867
@hichris123 Yeah, of course it should. The result of running a program can be only one of two things: (1) everything works as expected; (2) it doesn't work! help plz!
 
user259867
@Braiam It could be his own content, though. The user appears to be a contributor to that project.
 
@Behaviour but that content is licensed to himself or to the project? who gave permission to copy it? Does it has attribution? it's helpful for SO?

I search, but I'm really terrible at knowing what words to search for :C
 
user259867
@Frank There's an observation bias, though: those who searched and found what they wanted did not post a question, so they are not on your radar.

That means it might have been restarting when the questions were posted.

Smokey was alive at 04:27, when he replied to /hats. Just his/our luck, I suppose.

No, apparently just rebooting. Not clear what made it reboot at that time, though.
 
user259867
@ProgramFox added auto-ignore to all-caps reports today, and we haven't had an all-caps report since. Maybe there's a bug there that causes Smokey to crash?
 
Nah, it reboots once per hour because the websockets have issues occasionally.
 
Huh
NAA!

What would be a good site to post an all-caps question at? I'm thinking Ask Ubuntu, it should be right at home there.

eugh
 
@TGMCians meta.SE is the only site where users with 1 rep can comment everywhere, so there is no spam option on comments since spam in comments is pretty non-existant on every site except meta.SE. in any off cases of spam on another site you would just flag as other and explain.. not sure what the official policy is for comment spam on meta.SE... it's easy to catch if the spammer posts a spam question and then comments on same question.. but not so easy when they only do a comment on an old post
