Flag summary improvements

Question

I already read this question, but it is almost two years old. Maybe now is the time.

To access the flag summary I usually:

• access the profile
• expand the profile info (I know my bio, so it is usually collapsed)
• click a very tiny link (i.e. the number of raised flags)

Ok, now the page shows a very long list of flagged questions, without any possibility to filter or to sort.

So I suggest a couple of possible improvement for the flag summary.

• Why not to move it to the user profile's tabs?
• Hence, why not to enable filters on it (type, newest, etc), just as in the other tabs?

Answer 1

I guess the reason behind this not being done is due to whining. In the era of displayed flag weight, folks used to whine a lot about declined flags.

While I do feel that users should come to know of some decline messages, I don't think that there's any real need for such an improvement in the ability to keep track of flags. Elevating it to the "tab" status gives it unnecessary importance, IMO.
