MODs should be able to check newly created accounts so :slight_smile: It’s not hard to figure it out.

And I don’t think if she got a new acc she could suppress all the desire to replying and liking stuffs

Bruh

And Oxy just casually share a link from ACP (I’m more used to this phrase thanks to phpBB) that I can’t directly look at


BTW, Discourse should let normal users view their own stats like that so they know how far they are from TL3 (aka being satisified :joy: )

Hopefully you get a response because this was very unexpected.

You can find a lot of those if you dig through old posts.

Thank you Oxy but we can’t access any admin/ route😂

Said and done. She came back just as expected. Hopefully, with an improved temper and attitude this time.

I don’t see the logic. The “unique xxx” criteria makes it rather hard to just spam and cheat

I corrected it

the user should not know how many flags he can have and how many not
and other statistics

we moderators share it here and there when someone approaches a certain threshold

Yes, but I saw an opportunity and took it.

Talking about flags… I have a question. Sometimes when I flag a post it will get hidden (because I am TL4) but if I flag another post, it won’t be hidden. I came up with a theory that it will hide the first post that I flag of the day in GMT 00:00 time. But I just need confirmation.

By reading Discourse docs I thought it was about how many flags you got instead of how many flags you placed.

Maybe I was still misunderstanding this, but I still think it isn’t a bad idea to display the numbers. (In this more sensible way, of course most of the stats is available through the users page but it’s a hassle to keep track of everything)

Most likely because that user is TL1?
If TL0, we should have no issue flagging it?

Discourse docs said that any TL4 flags hides the post immediately. Unless of course the doc is outdated.

The TL0 limitation was only present on TL3 flags.

Maybe Admin configured the forum here in a slightly different way?

It’s about another thing but I don’t think Admin tweaked anything.

in a certain time…after the expiration of one period the flags are “deleted” and do not play a role in the statistics for the regular

besides that, the numbers depend on what the admin decides and how he configured the forum, not as it was mentioned on discourse meta and the like.

but in short - the intention of the trust level was to reward good users
not that someone looks at the statistics and deliberately inflates the numbers in order to get some status as soon as possible, that’s why I think it’s better that the statistics are not visible

I don’t know…when you saw that something wasn’t hidden ?
maybe someone from the staff decided to show the post or ignore the flag

I have no idea… let’s leave something to the admin as a topic for discussion
because he also likes to talk :joy:, but there aren’t many topics where he would get involved

7 Likes

Agreed. Maybe I was the kind pf people who are just statistics-maniacs that just wanted to look at the stats :joy:

I didn’t talked about the numbers. I was talking about the meaning of that certain criteria.

5 Likes

you’re right
it’s about rewarding good users
so the goal is to write and behave in accordance with the rules of the forum
and not to get more than 5 flags, which would mean that you are not a good candidate for a higher trust level

There are a lot of them - when the situation is normal :joy:
but we also have an outage these days, so the number is even higher.
Mostly I do that when I check suspicious accounts, I didn’t go looking for Tiffany…but when we started talking about her I made an effort.

I looked into this awhile back (things may have changed since then), but there was some algorithm that considered how many posts you have recently flagged, your TL status, the posters TL status, how mods reacted to your past flags, etc.

During outages I’ll notice that the oldest posts from the outage will be hidden from user flags, but not the new posts that people flagged (Assuming discourse thinks you went rogue and flagged everything, so it does not hide the posts you flag later)
