This is described in more detail here. Rather than waiting for the first flag to be positively handled, as soon as a user makes a flag, they should be able to see a history of the flags they have raised and their current status. Right now, if a user is making flags that get declined, they have no way to see that their flags were reviewed and rejected by moderators and which ones are still pending review and therefore don't have a way to learn. This would remove some of the mystery of the flagging system and hopefully allow users that want to improve their participation a way to do it.

1Would be less annoying if it only happened if you have declined flags you haven't seen. If you're still flagging well, move along– random ModCommented Dec 20, 2012 at 17:20

Perhaps something like "Flags: 4 (0 Helpful)"?– yoozer8Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 17:24

@Jim That would work, too. I'm not sure what the formatting should be. I just know that I've raised flags on a site and I don't know if they have been handled (or if they are pending) and if they were dismissed as unhelpful, what the reasoning is.– Thomas OwensCommented Dec 20, 2012 at 17:25

per my recollection, previous discussion of a particular bug with flagging summary links has been pretty quickly "resolved by design", by making flag-weight invisible. Wonder how it will be this time– gnatCommented Dec 20, 2012 at 17:36

2@gnat Flag weight is still hidden. And there is a trigger for showing people their flag history. It's just that the current trigger is bad.– Thomas OwensCommented Dec 20, 2012 at 17:37

It tells you stats in your profile, but they should go farther and show each flag individually. This is driving me CRAZY!!!!!! I wish they would fix this.– Anonymous PenguinCommented Jan 29, 2013 at 0:23
