Multiple flags can decrease the time before network-wide broadcast. But the one-off from one user? It can wait. It can wait probably for a long time. If the goal is to train users to good behavior, then immediacy is not exactly necessary. | |

| Dec 14, 2015 at 12:50 | comment | added | Kit Z. Fox | Mods aren't in blue in the transcript (we don't actually all know each other), and room owners are not oblique. I have to go and look, which I can't be arsed to do. I might as well go into the room for that kind of work. | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 12:49 | comment | added | user307833 | @KitZ.Fox You can easily see if a mod is present in the transcript, and you can go here to see room owners. | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 12:47 | comment | added | Kit Z. Fox | Part of the difficulty I have with responding to flags is that I can't tell immediately if there is already a mod present in the room, nor can I see who the room owners are from the transcript. It would be helpful if the flag noted that. | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 1:04 | comment | added | user307833 | @HDE226868 Good to know, thanks for the clarification. I knew what you meant; I just didn't know whether entering the room was necessary for dealing with a flag (I suspected not, though). | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 0:57 | comment | added | HDE 226868 | @Mego You don't have to enter the chat room (or even see the transcript) to deal with a flag, though it's a good idea to see it in context. I was referring to the rush of curious mods entering a room to all see and/or deal with the flag at the same time. | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 0:35 | comment | added | user307833 | @HDE226868 Using the chat transcript would be a better option in my opinion also, but I'm not sure on the details of handling flags (since I'm neither a mod nor a 10k network user) - can they be handled from the transcript, or does the handling user have to actually enter the chatroom? | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 0:34 | comment | added | user307833 | @ɥʇǝS I agree with your concerns, but until a better solution can be found, I believe an escalation system such as the one I described and the one in the linked question would be much better than the current system we have now. | |
| Dec 13, 2015 at 19:10 | comment | added | ɥʇǝS | I support preventing room flooding if possible, but I don't support limiting flags to the specific room for reasons outlined in my answer to another question, it allows too much abuse. Unfortunately I'm not sure of a good way of preventing floods without opening up to abuse. | |
| Dec 12, 2015 at 3:44 | comment | added | HDE 226868 | Yeah, okay, we're (the mods) kinda guilty of this. One option some use (and that more of us should use) is going directly to the chat room transcript, thus not actually entering the room but seeing what happened. | |
