@ToddTrimble I will just point out recent fedja's post.

If you decide to respond there, you might also explain that @username does not work in posts. And that flagging posts is better than flagging comments, since for flag on posts a mod can also leave some kind of reponse.

Now that I see that it says "Last seen 38 mins ago" in your profile on meta, it is quite likely that you have seen the post anyway.

(I remember the new questions on meta go into the moderator inbox. bit not new answers - which is part of the reasons why I pinged you here.)

@fedja I suppose you have already tried to to contact Todd Trimble in some way. I'll just mention that I pinged him here.

I will add that writing '@username` in a post does not actually notifiy that user.

From the FAQ post: How does comment voting and flagging work?

I will stress this part: "they cannot provide a reason for dismissing a comment flag." If you want to flag in such way that the moderator is able to leave some kind of response, it might be better to flag a post rather than a comment. (Naturally, with a custom flag, if you're trying to contact a moderator.)

@MartinSleziak Thanks very much for bringing this to attention, Martin. Dear @fedja, I was contacted by the OP via flags three times for about this post, asking it to be deleted. In general I am extremely reluctant to accede to such requests, but the OP explained that it was a matter of some urgency, and was profusely apologetic. I cannot go into more details, except that the urgency was understandable and I think I made the right call, although I regret the loss of rep for you, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Todd Trimble!
