There is actually a time limit on flag, I'm not sure about the exact value, but you can't flag stuff that is a few weeks old.Mad Scientist– Mad Scientist2015-12-10 15:15:45 +00:00Commented Dec 10, 2015 at 15:15

2@MadScientist OK, well it's not for lack of trying. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right anyway, but it appears to allow me to flag you, although nothing actually happens (no delete). So TIL! But still, then maybe we should change that. Also I should probably go delete these conversations I found where I was on cold medicine.Kit Z. Fox– Kit Z.

2According to Meta, flags on comments over 15 days old result in the comment being deleted, but no suspension. I would also add that after a flag happens, mods and users alike should be wary of attributing the flag to anything other than good faith user moderation. It is easy and appealing to say "Someone has a grudge", but I don't think that's true in the vast majority of cases. If a large portion of the SE community was that petty, the site would be in shambles.Wad Cheber– Wad Cheber2015-12-10 22:23:41 +00:00Commented Dec 10, 2015 at 22:23

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
