You know that there is a difference between having a bad day and being grumpy and trying to drive someone out of the community. I have faith in the people in my community to choose the right flag most of the time. The mod team will help users if they seem to be having trouble. | |

| Aug 8, 2018 at 17:36 | comment | added | ColleenV | @Dukeling When assessing what response is appropriate for a particular user, I would like to see how many flags were for unfriendliness versus outright hatefulness without having to go back an reread all of the deleted nasty comments. I am going to respond differently to someone saying “don’t be lazy” than to someone disparaging someone because of their race, religion, etc. | |
| Aug 8, 2018 at 15:34 | comment | added | Bernhard Barker | @ColleenV Why is marking the flag as helpful = calling someone a bigot? The comment is, for the most part, just silently deleted. If there ends up being an auto-flag later, wouldn't the mod investigate it anyway (and thus evaluate whether and what action needs to be taken)? The bottom line is that we don't want such comments, whether it's over the top rudeness or mild rudeness. | |

| Aug 8, 2018 at 13:56 | comment | added | ColleenV | I think there is a difference between "unfriendly" and "hateful" that shouldn't be glossed over. "Unfriendly" can be an honest mistake in tone and I would like to be able to mark flags like that as "helpful" without calling the person making the mistake a bigot. | |
| Aug 8, 2018 at 12:45 | comment | added | Bernhard Barker | @Jǝssǝ I wouldn't have proposed changing "abusive" to "unfriendly" - I was mostly trying to consolidate the two current reasons (instead of changing the old one). Although one can perhaps see "unfriendly" as less severe than "rude" (which is less severe than "abusive"), so it could make some sense to use "unfriendly" if we also want them to flag less severe things. | |

Personally I don't see much difference between rude or unfriendly and rude or abusive, making the change rather pointless. Just my veiw, so don't feel unwelcome! (Just kidding :D )
