| Mar 1, 2014 at 23:07 | comment | added | André Laszlo | I just found a user that probably made a script that votes "leave open" in the review queue except for questions with a suggested duplicate (which might make you look less suspicious, idk). It would be nice to be able to flag review activity. Another example is a user with an offensive profile/username. Both times I've flagged a random post by the user instead, which is a bit counter-intuitive, but still works. | |

| Jul 1, 2009 at 6:47 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | We need to understand whether that action was isolated, or part of an ongoing pattern of behaviour... for example, if somebody posts pure spam / product advertising - there may be other posts that need to be edited/deleted. But we're still looking at the action(s), not the user. | |
| Jul 1, 2009 at 1:14 | comment | added | TheTXI | Yet in Gravell's post above you guys seem to agree that when investigating a flagged post, you will go and look at that user's activities not necessarily related to the question. That sounds just awful like investigating the user and not the particular action. | |
| Jul 1, 2009 at 0:58 | comment | added | TheTXI | Jeff, you guys already field complaints directly through [email protected]. Can you really sit there and try and equate a flagging option (along with a required reason for the flag) with tattle telling? Are you going to suddenly stop listening to email complaints about users? I highly doubt that. | |
