bwDraco

I may have to raise a flag against you if I have reason to believe that you're doing this in support of a troll.

oldmud0

Ben N

He could be in this very room

bwDraco

I'm a lot calmer these days but that doesn't mean I'm unwilling to summon the mods when something bad is happening.

oldmud0

the upvoter could be anyone.... it could be you... it could be me... it could even be--

Q: What does it mean when someone's an Unregistered User?

I looked at someone's profile and it said Unregistered User. What does that mean?

support unregistered-users

Hm. There doesn't seem to be a good flag option for this kind of post.

Bob

It's not a spam. It's also not really offensive, perhaps borderline.

oldmud0

don't actually put that in the answer box... lol

Ben N

This is one of the few instances where VLQ actually makes sense

Bob

It is NAA, but then that relies on mods manually intervening.

> The answer contains no useful information, such as an answer that says "I don't care about your problem". Flag an answer as 'not an answer' instead; if you find a weird non-question, then flag it 'for moderator attention' with a custom explanation.
It contains only gibberish, such as "fsdguejgkfdlk". Use the 'offensive' flag for these cases, or flag 'for moderator attention' with a custom explanation if it requires more detail.

Bob

@BenN Yea, but VLQ is also a mod intervention flag.

cat

Well I'd call it gibberish too

Bob

Spam/offensive are the only 'special'/'auto' flags.

Ben N

You can cast delete votes, though, right?

Bob

@cat Yea that's why borderline :P

oldmud0

12:05 AM

Well I can't even view delete votes

Ben N

We have 3 >20K's here right now, so we could destroy all those answers

oldmud0

yeah let's do it

Hah down to 7 now. How is he losing rep so quickly

oldmud0

oh those weren't even hard earned

Burgi

Bob

@BenN I can, yea. Wasn't too sure I wanted to, at risk of becoming a target for trolls (has happened before...)

oldmud0

well the question not just closed, but deleted completely

Bob

bleh, VtD casted.

bwDraco

12:07 AM

I've already voted to delete all of these posts.

cat

Baww

bwDraco

@cat Again, you need to not upvote known trolls. If you continue to do this, I will raise a flag against you.

Ben N

@DavidPostill, can you clean this up?

All his rep is gone, it's just caching

Bob

@bwDraco And you need to stop assuming it's cat upvoting them...

cat

I found an interesting bug

Ben N

12:08 AM

And it's cleaned up!

cat

Negative reps aren't stored.

cat

I can repeatedly un-upvote and upvote one of his answers, and it'll keep resetting his rep to 11, even after he gets -50 downvotes on the same answer or other answers. Because it only goes down to 1 minimum from the downvotes, and a single upvote kicks it back up to 11.
