Forum flag spam predicament

Filadae_Djaq · June 25, 2020, 12:11am

Believe it or not, there are many regulars who have had their status for longer, and are just as active. I barely got mine in February

Tragic-Magic · June 25, 2020, 12:11am

Also, TBH, it’s not really the end of the world if I lose regular status. It won’t take long for me to get it back. However it’s surprised me because I had it only for 2 weeks.

I started in may, and got it in June. So I’m sure by august we should get it back by then.

Grim_grinning_Ghost · June 25, 2020, 12:11am

Yeah and @Irrer-Minnie didn’t have it for that long either

TherMasterStitch · June 25, 2020, 1:04am

Well I’m sure our regular friends will get the status back soon!

Slinky-Dog · June 25, 2020, 1:08am

So you didn’t receive any flag messages at all?

Tragic-Magic · June 25, 2020, 1:13am

Well I did, but not a whole lot.

Slinky-Dog · June 25, 2020, 1:13am

I think it just needs to be 5 from different users in different topics.

Imagineer_V · June 25, 2020, 1:14am

It should be more like 10 due to the current situation

Slinky-Dog · June 25, 2020, 1:14am

Agreed but there’s nothing we can do about it

KayIa · June 25, 2020, 1:15am

10 is to many. 5 is good.

Slinky-Dog · June 25, 2020, 1:15am

*too.

I think there needs to be a system that won’t count Alt. accounts as different users when it comes to flagging.

KayIa · June 25, 2020, 1:17am

But that is silly.

If you are on your alt and someone says something inappropriate. Why would you just switch accounts?

I personally believe that the users who lost regular most likely deserved it.

Slinky-Dog · June 25, 2020, 1:22am

Not what I meant. If someone is using 5 accounts to flag Regulars then that is an issue.

KayIa · June 25, 2020, 1:27am

That is why polaris has fixed that issue.

Tragic-Magic · June 25, 2020, 1:50am

To be fair, that could be the case. I think I lost regular status when I said “willing to give up” and Panda said that he made too many stupid mistakes. But why @PrinceAamir and @LetsGetDangerousBro?

KayIa · June 25, 2020, 1:51am

Well I am not sure. Because it couldn’t be false flags. So maybe the were not posting enough. Reading enough or liking enough.

Tragic-Magic · June 25, 2020, 1:53am

Perhaps that’s why I also lost it.

109333 · June 25, 2020, 2:07am

These won’t. Because these reason will be counted at the last day of your first term of regular.
So tragic lose the regular status because he got 5 different , staff approved flags

Naughty4U · June 25, 2020, 4:43am

I don’t see how it can be anything else. It’s too much of a coincidence that so many people lost regular right after all the false flags. Yes there are requirements for keeping your regular status but everyone gets their regular status at a different time. So once a person gets it, they have to keep up with it. I just can’t imagine so many people failed to keep up with the requirements all at the same time

Irrer-Minnie · June 25, 2020, 4:46am

I think most regulars (just as me) couldn’t answer to enough Topics… It was impossible because soany topics were closed.
