State exactly why your post was removed by a moderator
More information:
My posts get removed quite a bit(not complaining) but a lot of the time, I don’t know what for. For example once I got flagged for necroposting on a forum game, although I thought it was off topic.
I’m going to mega bunp this. The current system is mostly informative, as it can give a message based on the selected option, but it doesn’t work at all for custom reasons. It just says that someone thought it needed staff attention. And to solve any complexity issues it would just paste the reason given in the flag. I guess there is the possibility that how flagging works isn’t controllable by the hive & is just part of discourse, but this would be good if it was possible, especially with the increase in flagging recently.
I feel like this thread is kind of unhelpful. Perhaps I’m wrong, but this seems as if it is designed to be a place for people to complain (even satirically) about moderation. While sure it may be funny, it really does not help the community long term. Just my two cents
Additionally, flags (specifically the one a comment can be added), are anonymous. The typing style, word style and words used can realistically be used to define whom flagged it. That is unless the Moderator gives the reason.
