Limited daily number of flags?

For context, spam flagging has been a continuous problem in the main chat. If you don’t like someone? Boom, spam flagged and now your accounts on hold. I, as well as others have had this happen. It’s happened before and I believe it’s happening again.

Now for my suggestion, I suggest that there should be a limit of how many times we can flag things per day. Maybe like twice? Because not a lot of things on here need to be flagged (That’s coming from someone who’s very active on here including the topics.). I rarely ever flag things. Some people do it just because they don’t like someone. To prevent the problem there should be a limited number of flags for every user per day.

Agreed. I personally haven’t been flagged but I know a lot of people (including you) who have been for no reason. Yes, typically the issue is solved within a few hours to a day, but those who haven’t done anything wrong shouldn’t have to have their account on hold that much just because of spam flaggers

I agree.
Especially because you get your regular status taken away even if the flag gets solved. At the very least, that should be fixed.

We won’t be looking to limit number of flags per se, however if someone misuses the feature we do consider that an abuse. Your account is never in any issue if you haven’t violated our terms and conditions, even if you get flagged.

Agreed.
I’ve been flagged multiple times in the past, and that’s led to me never being able to get my regular status back. I don’t really understand why people need to flag posts all day? I mean I understand if someone’s talking about sexual/traumatizing topics, but still no need to flag multiple times. It’s especially annoying if someone just dislikes you, so they flag. That’s unacceptable.

I’ve even brought this to your guys’s attention, nothing was resolved. I was told something along the lines of “we don’t see any issues”. I can go back and find the conversation as well if needed.

I would like this idea, but it’s kind of hard because one time in a GC this one person swore like four times

I believe that to get in trouble with Ribblr you have to be flagged by multiple different users? I feel like I read that the other day.

No, getting flagged once automatically removes your regular status and puts you on hold.

Really? Wow that seems harsh.

And it takes so long to get the regular status back. I was flagged for no reason like months ago and still haven’t gotten it back

10 Likes

Jeez. That only counts when the flag is approved right?

Yeah, I think it takes 6 months minimum to get it back

Unfortunately not​:sob: You get your regular status removed regardless of whether or not the flag was deserved/legit.

That’s not right. They should only do this if the flagging was justified

Yeah, I had to privately ask them to give me mine back after I got flagged twice for no reason.

I absolutely agree.

I haven’t used the chat here in a long time. I do check it briefly once in a while. But now I will definitely stay away from it if it will put my regular status at risk for no good reason

The general chat is…well…yikes, but the lounge chat is a lot better which I can see you have access to.
