Wow what's going on with post flagging and removal/invisible posts
Somethings wrong, for starters, in the thread "hypocrites make me vomit" below, half the posts are flagged for random stuff, the other half are invisible to me
Also for threads usually around pages 5-7 the posts that should be in the next page do not load...
Exprain plz

For the first bit, i think those posts got flagged for stereotyping asians, though I admit most of them didn't deserve a flag.
As for the second bit.. I got no clue as to the cause of that.

No idea why posts are getting flagged. It's annoying.
As for the delay, it's a common occurence for large threads.

My post had nothing to do with asians and I don't know if its flagged but half of them are invisible (pushed to the next page which hasn't loaded yet I guess...)

Whoever is flagging is probably going to get a minor ban/warning. The report system explicitly warns you NOT to abuse the system.
Also I've never had any trouble with loading threads, i use the reverse order though so the newest posts appear at the top. It saves me loading time from having to skip to the last post. instead i just click on the thread title and I'm there! It's only the normal order that seems to have issues like this.

Posts get flagged as soon as ANYBODY reports for ANY reason... regardless of if it's actually breaking the rules or not.
ie: you could report every post in this thread and they would become "flagged" till a mod deemed them appropriate and took the flag off.

Just wait for a mod to come on and it'll stop, after all:

Which makes me think having a 'who's online" form at the bottom of the site would be useful. |

I'm not sure that one's as plausible, as it would have to update far more frequently to be useful. Nevertheless it would be awesome. |
