Negative Flags?

I just noticed that the thread in the screen shot I posted below has -1 flag. Negative 1. How is that possible?

If any thread deserves it, that's the one.

just corrected the issue by flagging it
now its 0 flag lol

it was -2 a few minutes ago .. was wondering the same thing

I believe it gives the member the ability to remove a flag they had given to the thread if they so chose.

But all threads start with zero flags. You can't click unflag when there are zero flags, and to have -1 flags means that when there were zero flags somehow someone was able to click unflag resulting in negative 1.

ETA:

It just doesn't add up.

I believe i somehow caused that , i unflagged when i thought my browser stuck , and did two times more
when the page refreshed it said -2 flags.

Then you should be congratulated for knocking three votes off the thread. A spiritual triple-star for you!

Hey everyone...


Ever wondered what Tourette syndrome is like..? Don't lie - you know you have thought about this on many occasions.


Go Flag, than Un Flag, Flag, Un Flag, ect...give it a try!


It's Liberating.

Might not be such a bad feature to implement in certain forums. Politics would probably be a no

There maybe a minor clitch in the matrix,

I'm sure SkepticOverlord will look into it, asp.

I noticed you have a -1 flag now.

Not in your case,but it would be such a bad idea to implement.

Stay calm... but since there is witchcraft obviously at work here, we'll need you all to line up and walk into this fire we've built up. Calmly and in single file please.

I thought it was a Pavlovian joke

A glitch in the matrix indeed. You have unlocked what many of us have been begging for for years!!!!

SO.... Dont be that guy.. Dont ruin all the fun with your hubbity bubbity fixerooni computer stuff. Leave this glitch in for us sleuths to take advantage of

Meh, just tried to do it here, and couldnt. Ah poop. SO disregard my previous post. If I cant figure out how to do it, then no one should!!!!!! bwahahaha

Springer has fixed it.

Uh-oh.. Springer has taking over the coding on ATS?

I hope SO has at least hourly DB backups with redo logs
