Per comments, even though the script interval was changed, the concern and flag wait time hasn't changed

The script was updated to run hourly when some mod tools were improved.

| May 29, 2022 at 10:49 | comment | added | convert | So just as side note, the site itself sometimes provokes for such behavior. I mean there are bages you earn for voting, specially the ones where you have to vote some number of times in a day. | |
| May 29, 2022 at 10:39 | comment | added | convert | "The most common type of voting fraud is when a single user continually upvotes or downvotes many of your posts within a short period of time." What is meaned by many 2, 3...100? What is a short period, hours, days or month? | |

| May 4, 2021 at 10:20 | comment | added | Devolus | Shouldn't serial voting be rather obvious to the user anyway? I mean, if I suddenly get a whole bunch of upvotes for older postings of mine, I would be a bit suspicious about it. Most of the time, you get most upvotes in a certain period when the question is still active (probably in the first 24h hours). After that, it subsides. | |

Update length of delay from escalation to resolution (next business day just doesn't happen and it's bad to set expectations that it will). Add considerable text regarding the process of handling the flag and escalation.

| Mar 17, 2021 at 11:34 | comment | added | Katie | I would like to suggest that when someone gets significantly serial voted (as I was yesterday +200 points) and then it is reversed, that they get a one-time badge, just to cheer them up after all the drama in which they had no part :) | |
| Mar 15, 2021 at 11:11 | comment | added | Gulzar | Is there a way to know which post's votes was corrected by the system? I do like to keep track of which of my posts perform best. I just got my first ever -10 correction, and would like to know for which post that happened. | |
| Feb 4, 2021 at 3:38 | comment | added | musicamante | "the only form of notification [...] is "+1 undownvoted" [...] [but] if they only downvoted questions [...], they will not be notified". This is an interesting matter. I agree with the concept behind which downvoting questions doesn't change reputation, but since it does change reputation on the "target" (no matter if it's reinstated back then) and the "perpetrator" doesn't get any notification about the abuse it just seems to me like a "throwing the rock" while passing as innocent: I get that someone was somehow offended and I don't know why, but s|he just goes on knowing that s|he can. | |

| Nov 30, 2020 at 20:06 | comment | added | Red | When serial votes don't get reversed, are flagged, the flag is marked as helpful, later the votes get reversed, does that ensure that the serial voter got a private message telling them to stop? | |
| Jul 22, 2020 at 7:29 | comment | added | brainchild | Serial voting is explained as a succession of votes cast by one user toward another within a short span of time. Any behavior that would be abusive if done quickly, however, would seem equally abusive if done slowly. Indeed, the above indicates that some user may recast the same votes later, without any prevention unless the span again would be short. Any user only slightly cleverer than the dimmest, it seems, may evade the system only by casting votes at greater intervals. Would then a better system not analyze the behavior of a user without any distinction according to time span? | |

Just remove the ask in chat thing. We generally don't care to be bothered just to look and see if something is gonna happen. Just wait and see if it happens. Also try to avoid having users ask on Meta.

somone was confused because they went to the tavern and got brushed off, updating that so more people don't get confused. Esp. because few moderators hang on in the Tavern anymore.
