Under the current system, each character has a limit of something close to 5 flags within a 24 hours period that they can use to identify posts that they feel are a violation of the forum code of conduct (i.e. trolling, inappropriate, violent, abusive, etc.). However, if you switch posting characters, you have 5 flags on the new character. Switch again and you have 5 more. So effectively, with very little effort, you have virtually unlimited flags.
The upcoming changes makes your forum identify your Bnet rather than your posting character. This severely limits our ability to flag a post that we may feel warrants moderator attention. We will now only get 5 flags total. That seems awfully low. There are some very good and honest regular posters on these forums who want to help keep the community clean and friendly. But handcuffing them with limited flags makes it impossible to them to help the moderators to the best of their ability.
Please consider increasing the number of flags to 10 or even 20. As I said, currently it’s basically unlimited, so setting it at 20 would still curb spam flagging. Another option might be to display when a post has been flagged for moderator attention. Don’t identify the flagger, of course, but at least other people would know that the post has already been sent up for review and they can save their flags for other posts that may be in violation.
