@darijgrinberg Can you show me an example? Now, when I click the "flag" button on an answer (for instance this), I only see "spam" / "rude or abusive" / "not an answer" / "in need of mod intervention". I know that long time ago there was also "very low quality", but it seems to have disappeared.

Aha I found it; a 7-day-from-post/edit limit was implemented in 2016.

Which is silly really. A very low quality post (no matter one's definition of "quality") does not magically stop being low quality after 7 days...

@BillDubuque @XanderHenderson @RRL @JoséCarlosSantos: What do you think of this post? I think it is so severely misleading as to be terrible...

@user21820 Yes, it is terrible. I have downvoted it.

D1, D2, D3.

D4, D5, D6.

D7, D8, D9.

D10, D11, D12.

D13, D14, D15.

C1, C2, C3.

C4, C5, C6.

C7, C8, C9.

C13, C14, C15.

@user21820 now needs a couple delete votes

DA - DD, DG - DL, DO need some votes

not sure anymore @user21820 , but i see one in my own flag list

that was math.stackexchange.com/questions/3430283/…

though it now says "deleted by owner"

same for this math.stackexchange.com/questions/11150/… which has since been undeleted??

Aaargh, by mow you'd think it was impossible, but lo and behold SE is making even poorer design decisions now retroactively changing question upvotes to +10. This means there will be far more less experienced folks "moderating", which will likely make the site much lower quality. Time to start thinking about a new platform....

@BillDubuque I guess order relations multiply with less negating more ;)

This means there will be far more newbies that will fight the activities of this rooim (and others who try to organize the site)

@samerivertwice I tried to fix that but the time window expired (yet another poor design decision). This chat software if by far the worst I've ever had to suffer.

@BillDubuque if the world was perfect there would be nothing to do

Maybe that's what we're here for

@samerivertwice But on this platform you can't even try to fix it if the masses organize against you. And now the masses will have much more global power.

@BillDubuque what idiot thought democray was a good idea?

@samerivertwice The idiot that never dreamed how a "smart" phone could empower "idiots"

@Jack I'm sure some probably do, although they're reluctant so far to explain how, sadly. My policy is never to downvote without an explanatory comment. But I udnerstand how people needing to cover a lot of ground don't have time to comment everywhere. More to the point, I think the question would reveal significantly more merit than is apparent on a cursory look, to anyone thinking about it in a little more depth.

@Jack I have convergence, I can define the open sets but I can't define a metric that achieves the same. I can see that my proposed metric fails symmetry although I can fix that by adding a $\min\{ d(x,y),d(y,x)\}$ or a $\max\{ d(x,y),d(y,x)\}$ but that seems like a cheat somehow. I'm just not experienced enough to confidently know what's a good approach.

@MartinR did you come to see who's calling who an idiot :)
