Meta Question

How would you feel about being able to choose more than one reason for flagging a question?

Asked by KatawaGrey (21483points) February 26th, 2010

I often find that when I flag a question for the moderators to look at, there are multiple reasons I think the question should be flagged. What does the collective and possibly our wise founders think?

I wouldn’t mind it, but I don’t think it’s super necessary. Since we can choose the ‘something else’ option and use the text box to provide detail, and every flag gets seen and investigated (no matter why it was flagged), having it flagged for more than one reason wouldn’t really aid the system (from the mod’s perspective). It wouldn’t hinder it either, though.

I agree; the “Something else…” pretty much covers that base.

I’d prefer to just neg the hell out of them like I can on Craigslist :D

I mostly use ‘something else’ and write in the reason.

Yep – something else…

I would like to see if others have flagged the question when we are on the flagging page. It might save me some typing.

And it would be cool to see how many flags the question got on the flagging page. But I could understand why you wouldn’t want to do that.

I sometimes put stuff in the “Something else” box, even if I didn’t click on “Something else”. God, I’m such a rebel.

@Sarcasm I didn’t know you could do that – put stuff in the “something else” box but check a different reason.

Sarcasm's avatar

I didn’t think so either, until I tried. I felt like a god!

Exhausted.

I really think this question is something else!
And so is the answer!

KatawaGrey's avatar

Okay, it seems fairly simple to just list all of the reasons in the something else box. I submit, this is a better solution! :)

I wish they had a creme pie in the face option.

“something else” does it for me. But I do sometimes wish there was a “facepalm” button.

ChocolateReigns's avatar

@Dr_C A “Face—> Palm” button would be amazing.

I second the “facepalm” button. Or am I thirding it? Hell, I don’t know.
