Wny does the most flagged thread on ATS only have 607 flags?

I tried 'flagging' however nothing happened. Do you have to have so many posts under your belt before you can 'flag'? What is the correct way to flag a topic?

Just click where it says "flag it" above the thread. Just to be clear... posts can be starred. Only opening posts to threads can be flagged.

ah, protoplasmic traveler.

Guy was a beast.

I am sorry just look at some of his threads and his good manners. Great mind. He was a real loss.

anyways. Yeah I dont know. People are kind of stingy with the flags and whorish with the stars.

I hand them out evenly. If you make a good thread, you get a flag. No exceptions.

If you post in a thread I make I give ALMOST everyone a star. If you support a mentality or argument that I do as well, you will get a star for every post I agree with.

Flags are just as useful to help people to pick the good threads from the crap that is made sometimes.
