Stars, Flags, and ???

a reply to: Mianeye

I don't think anything will be flawless though. I see your point about people handing out a flag or star and not even commenting, makes sense. So maybe sides could be something like Pro-leaning pro-on the fence-leaning con-con or something? More simple? I am assuming you would be able to change your position to show you were swayed, and that would be reflected as well.

It seems the current line of thought with others is similar to yours, and I'm understanding more as to why. Perhaps stars can be dealt away with but it has been stated that flags help organize the more important threads. However, I usually go to new first and work my way backward to the last thread I looked at so I don't miss anything. It' nice to get views from those that have been here a long time because you have seen various things tried and tested. Thanks.

Yes, maybe a 24 hour timelimit to change your stance on a topic that first seemed wrong but later showed right or other way around, thereby you could also filter the top stories that have been debunked on page 2 and stays on top for 17 hours.

We used to have unflagging to take your own flag away. Guess it didn't work

What he means is his S&F count, it's not an amount he actually got from members, it was added during an update of the site, either by a flaw in the system or by reward from site owners for being a long time member.

Yes I'm one caught in the glitch. My flags seem about right but just look at my star count!

I asked yesterday how I suddenly got a yellow border.

a reply to: violet

You can still do that by clicking the flag again, though it has a very limited time, but i don't think many people know that.

sshhh do not tell them but they have a code error, it is a conspiracy i think

This glitch seems to only affect long-standing members who have been around for a significant number of years. Coincedence? Shyeah right!

a reply to: FlyersFan

No dear your stars are not broken we have given you all them for your wise words of wisdom .

If you go to the list of members and click to arrange them in "star-count" order, you find that the first seven hundred or so have silly numbers of stars.
However, once you get down to the long-standing members with stars in the tens of thousands only, those are probably legitimate.

You can go to account and switch to desktop version...
That's if you want to see all the extra bits!


I prefer mobile to the web, because I don't have a computer

a reply to: AllSourceIntel

Name and avatar is all. But, if I switch it to desktop mode all the words overlap eachother. I have a note 3. That's a pretty big phone. I'm sure there's room.

I'm all for an up vote/down vote system like Disguise has.

a reply to: Mianeye

Oh yes you're right. I clicked the flag to test and it unflagged. Tried to put it back but it said fail.

a reply to: violet

You tried to give it back too fast. If you refresh the page or wait a minute it will work again FYI.
