@angussidney At what time?

Best approach would be to play the long con and just use them to funnel rep from upvotes slowly into ones account. Anything bigger is likely to trigger an investigation, which would involve someone looking at logs and then it's all over.

So we dont get a situation where we have like 10 registered flaggers 4 of which are in this room atm and all their flags get auto-used and they all can't flag by hand then

tpu- by Magisch

@Magisch OTOH users who are not in the room are less likely to pay attention

Thats what I mean

say me you and undo are registered to auto flag

me and you are in the room

Or as suggested by someone else a while ago, make a list of people sorted by activity, then select the person at the bottom, flag, and bump them to the top of the the list again

6:03 AM

@Magisch Probably could, but it'd require a much deeper level of integration and tracking than we have now

the auto flagging would use undo's flag

so me and you (who are in the room, paying attention) can use ours ourselves

@Undo quick and dirty would be create the priority list based on who has the most recent feedback

@Undo I'm going to make another user, but after mysql -u root -p metasmoke and CREATE USER 'metasmoke'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';, I get ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'metasmoke'@'localhost'
