@DragonLord I challenge you to go a week without using up every close vote

@JourneymanGeek: superuser.com/questions/867948/…

Flag on question: This can be done by closing, then reopening immediately

This will purge all votes to close on the question

Most tag wiki suggested edits are plagiarism. Don't just blindly approve.

DragonLord

@random My apologies.

I might just need to abstain from participating in the review queues for a few days (although I'll continue to respond to more obvious problems as I find them during casual browsing)

I'm making far too many mistakes

@DragonLord: is that urgent?

DragonLord

@JourneymanGeek I don't quite understand what you're asking.

I'm one of just a few users going through a full 40 close reviews each day.

Journeyman Geek

If a question gets kicked over wrongly, we can always ask a mod that to reject the migration, or reopen. Is it something that actually needs immediate moderator intervention like NOW?

(There's actual stuff like that, like PII/passwords on a question)

DragonLord

Sorry. That question already had three votes to migrate on it.

Journeyman Geek

but that's something I would solve with a simple comment.

DragonLord

I just wanted to stop an erroneous migration.

It's fine to flag them, if somebody does see the flag in time to stop it that can be helpful, but it's not a crisis if we miss it, nor is it a problem if the flag is rejected. Remember that when we see flags in the queue we just see the current state of the question, so it's not readily apparent that at the time of the flag, a post like that was on the verge of being migrated. From that perspective it makes sense to decline, but again, a few declined flags really isn't an issue.

Oh, I was meaning the pinging here.

DragonLord

I was concerned that a mod would get confused about how to handle the flag.

Journeyman Geek

Oh, mentioning it here is fine. I was meaning the ping. That generally implies my immediate attention. As opposed to popping my head in over a lull period to handle it

DragonLord

This was not intended to be a request for an immediate response.

Sorry for the ping.

Journeyman Geek

Just so its clear. I read it as one. If its a mod thing, just throw it in here. I don't need my phone, and probably 3 systems at home going boing at once ;p

@Ztyx Note that you should not flag incorrect answers for moderator attention. Your last one was a special case where the poster of the answer himself wanted to have it deleted (but could not, due to it being accepted wrongly). Next time you see something incorrect, just downvote and comment, but please don't flag. Thanks.
