I’m not sure what that means. You marked it as spam? So if it gets flagged as spam it’s immediately unreadable?

That seems to be the case with Spam flags now.

Not to me - I just went back and took a screenshot, just in case.

Not that I’ll share personal attacks here, but it is still visible to me if I click it, though I am Leader level; I just don’t wear the badge.

OK, makes sense. Thanks!

ETA: @orenwolf Maybe the working bits of the scripts could be modified so that flagged posts that are unavailable have a notice that reads that way?

Good move. I would’ve flagged as inappropriate, but then it would’ve let that bilge remain visible longer. I’m going to keep in mind that the spam flag is best for immediately hiding the worst of the worst.

It’s totally because you have Leader status; regular Regulars can no longer expand comments that have been spam flagged.

Only on new accounts, AFAIK.

Ah, good to know.
Luckily, it hardly ever comes up. Or it’s so spread out and all the regulars keep it nice around here, so it feels like it hardly ever comes up.

Agreed. I’ve seen it 2-3 times in the last week or so, but had never seen it before that. So, maybe a combination of good housekeeping plus some new bad actors.

Either way, I really appreciate that the Leaders and Mods work so hard to keep things humming along. It’s one of the things that, for me, makes this site so pleasant to be a part of.

User Redcrestedgibbon has been banned for telling off their fellow mutants.

We certainly don’t expect people here to agree (the Authors often don’t agree after all), but we draw the line at lobbing insults or telling off Mutants, especially all the Mutants.

Seriously, though; good riddance to bad faith.
