Is there a way I could find out "who" gave me a GA to one of my answers or a GQ to one of my questions? What about flags?

You’d have to sleep with one of the mods.

Hmm?

I like it the way it is! Anonymous. That’s just me, though.

Anonymity ftw.

Well, since it doesn’t really matter with me, I guess I’ll wait to see more responses and then go with the majority.

[Mod says] No. And that’s the way we like it : )

What do the flags mean and how do you get or give them?

Flags are used mostly for troublesome or problematic comments. You give them by clicking the “Flag as…” link beside a comment or question, then fill out the submission form. Those are sent to mods who can choose to delete or leave the comment as is. They do not affect the score, they only serve as a way to delete spam or off topic comments.

I am glad that there is no way to find out who favorites your comments or questions or who flags your posts. Such information would not contribute to the primary purpose of this website, to answer questions, and may in fact encourage petty squabbles.

If you want to know, you could ask. You could even request it in advance, in the question.

i’m definitely glad it’s anonymous. not because i’m fluther-stalking anyone or anything (teehee. no. i’m serious), but i just think it would be weird. haha.
