| Sep 11, 2011 at 23:45 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @aaro it's necessary for negative feedback because you don't want to bitch-slap users in public. I hope. Positive, public : negative, private... not too difficult to follow. | |
| Sep 11, 2011 at 23:44 | comment | added | Aarobot | @Jeff: That's a great idea, and it's what a lot of moderators already do, making the "private silo" of a dialog box completely unnecessary. | |
| Sep 11, 2011 at 23:43 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @aaro then leave a comment, which teaches everyone rather than trapping that information in a useless private silo. | |
| Sep 11, 2011 at 14:42 | comment | added | Aarobot | Gilles already gave the perfect example: Should be community wiki flags. They still come in, and usually they identify a poor question, but the flags themselves are wrong and we don't want that user to repeat them. | |
| Sep 11, 2011 at 14:35 | comment | added | Kev Mod | @aarobot - I can't really see a scenario where I'd want to explain helpful behaviour because surely that should be the norm. Much like I wouldn't expect to be stopped by the security guard at my local Tesco to be thanked for not jumping the checkout with an armful of Special Brew and 200 fags. | |

| Sep 11, 2011 at 14:08 | comment | added | Aarobot | I'm cool with an optional ability to provide feedback on flags - in fact, I was one of the earlier mods to ask for it. But requiring feedback only for declined flags and not even permitting it for accepted ones makes no sense. As Gilles says, this seems to cover only 2 out of 4 possible scenarios, with one of them being the least common. | |
| Sep 11, 2011 at 12:51 | comment | added | user50049 | I just hope questions like "[moderator] said my flag was invalid because [quote moderator text]. Do you agree?" don't start popping up. But I fully agree, we needed a way to provide more signal when declining a flag, especially on SO. | |
