If I were to decline a flag, I try my best to give the benefit of doubt to the flagger. So, I look through the revision history and see if it is all right to mark the flag as helpful and still not act on the post.
@muru This is the only concern about Videonauth if he stays at the same level for a distance. I hope he will. Regarding high-rated candidates including myself, it is not that important to be a mod. I am already reviewing a lot. Changing to be a mod won't allow to review much the same way, but there will be some other reviews instead. Does not make that much a difference IMO.
@Videonauth It is not that easy to keep posting at the same rate. I used to get almost 200 rep a day for some time, then it dropped down, because it looks like I wrote all I new ))) Now I mostly close as duplicates ;-)
well my posting rate depends hardly on the questions coming up I have knowledge in :) I'm using Linux now since February, and before I used only w******
At some point all your knowledge may be exausted ))) I wrote answers for a couple of years at forums.ubuntu.ru, when accidentally found AU. At a first glance it looked wierd for me and I did not use it. At some point I got how it works about a yer ago. Now I love SE and AU.
The point is to keep working after there is not that much to write as answers as it is in the beginning.
@ThomasW. i can understand your concerns, I doubted that I will have a chance in the election, but then again I thought, I would not know how it would have turned out if I not tried it, so theres my nomination :)
As Google have stopped support for Chrome and 12.04, your best solution is to install Chromium instead:
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
It's a great answer now. As it is now, I wouldn't have flagged it.
But if you look at the original, I personally couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Now as I see what he meant to say, I understand what he did say.
Ok. I just seem to remember chrome being way out of date in the repos a few years back. I don't remember the reason, though. Maybe I was using an old version of Ubuntu
Anyhow, thanks for reasurring me that I haven't totally lost my marbles. :)
