Hey! I just want to remind our community that this is a positive community. I donât want people flagging others just bc they donât like them or donât like what they said. Like flagging a post for random tags? How immature is that? I know yâall are better than this so please make this a more happy community. Itâs starting to fall apart. Thanks for the support! Oh, but I wonât tag bc people seem to flag for that

Right?!
I get flagged for such dumb things.
Literally for asking what a show was. And calling Ian âINeedToBePaidMoreâ Ian Shareholder (because I honestly do not remember his last name.

I got flagged for being off topic because I told someone âHappy birthdayâ .

The fact that it only takes 1 flag to hide a post is stupid. Itâs literally giving everyone a mini mod tool so of course people will spam and abuse it until itâs changed.

@Audacious_Writer (I hope you donât mind me tagging you) made a thread about how she felt that the Episode community doesnât give enough recognition to the black community. I though it was a great thread and saw some amazing opinions. I logged in this morning to find that her post had been flagged?! I was so annoyed because it was a great topic and one that needed to be talked about. Now the whole thread is under review and we canât talk about the under representation of the black community on the forums.

I guess they flagged it because I called Episode racist, but is it really offensive if itâs true? Maybe Episode is just offended. I was just stating facts. Episode needs to step up their game for the black community.
Oh, and thanks for the tag!

You can criticise (and not have that criticism taken by Episode), but not hate. Logic. (Not that Iâm hating, Iâm just sayinâ.)

There should be penalties for flagging unnecessarily for example
A thread was flagged for good reason = no penalty
A thread was flagged for reasons that may look like it needed flagging but is found that itâs alright = no flag but explaination
Flagging for no reason = 1 penalty
Continuing to flag unnecessarily = after 3 penalties some form of punishment such as account being frozen for a short amount of time eg a week

Definitely.
By the amount of time people have been flagged for having good humour that is clear.

I made a post requesting a âbecause you likedâŠâ Option on the app, people got flagged for tagging their friends, and saying they really liked the idea. I mean what is that? They were showing support
I think itâs ridiculous anyone can flag without it being seriously looked at

Flagging has definitely become a great issue here on the forum! 
The whole system should be updated so that only admins can hide a post. For example, if a post got (letâs say) 10 flags, then Melani3 or someone else would get notified and take a look themselves. So in the end, itâd be up to them whether the post should be hidden or not.
The current system is just utter madness! Doesnât it go against free speech either?
