I'm not a moderator. I have ~50k rep on Server Fault. I am a regular in chat.
Because chat allows all 10k+ users across the network to act on chat flags, I (and many other regulars in SF chat) see some problematic users from other chats flagging things that aren't actually offensive.
I disagree with the current chat moderation model where anyone from any community with enough rep can vote on small snippets of text that provide no context. I think that's a bad system. It's been brought up time and again that there must be a better way to handle it, but nothing has happened to date.
If the global chat moderation system won't be re-thought, I would like to be given a way to opt out of seeing chat flags that originate from outside rooms that I'm currently in.
I was never elected as a mod, I never asked to be able to see them, and they get on my nerves.
TL;DR - I don't want to see chat flags from rooms that I'm not in. Let me opt out of seeing them.
"The real answer is for users to stop posting offensive stuff."
is a reasonable suggestion for this issue? What ideas do you have to make this happen that would negate the need for the flag system as a whole? I'm all ears
