Uh, citation needed? How do you see what type of flag was used on the post?
(But yes, downvotes should come back.)

There’s only 1 tool right now… and it’s the only one that all forums use flagging to report any one edgy enough.
And it’s not gonna be removed…
I think it’s a missed opportunity in two different ways, firstly it’s a way for us to police ourselves to some extent and secondly i think it’s valuable feedback if a dev can read a thread and see what people are disliking and liking.

You’re usually a pretty level headed poster, i’m sure they had it coming lol
Timbo said later down in the thread.
They did. I don’t regret it.
Is the Community always right though?
You grossly overestimate the intentions of most of the people who lurk about in these forums lol.
Hell No!!!

Yeah, I agree
No, it’s very rare but regarding class design I’m sure it’s very true lately.
Regardless, the issue is the ability of “hiding” posts here… some people has personal issues that I wont discuss here for obvious reasons when their post hides.
When my posts get flagged I just leave it on the hands of the mods… nothing you can do if the mod thinks if your post is worthy of a ticket with vacations regardless…
It’s not a matter of right or wrong, we’re often talking about subjective things anyway. It’s a matter of putting on the blinders so you can only see the positive feedback and not the negative.
i’d be happy to see downvotes returned, but we know that isn’t going to happen.
how about facebook style “react” emotes instead?
let people leave an angry face at things which they’re offended by.

This forum is a lighter version of…Wild West!!
posts are never truly “hidden” though.
and why should someones “personal issues”, be everyone elses problem?
…as soon as they make their issues someone elses problem, it’s no longer a “personal issue”.
You’re allowed to have an opinion. I’m allowed to dislike your opinion.
Sure…just don’t flag it 
Precisely. You can dislike my opinion by stating as much.
Wasn’t planning on it! Flagging is for offensive stuff. I’m not gonna flag someone just because I disagree with the message.

That’s mah Boi!!
It wont be a hivemind if they avoid a reddit style system, or the system on the old forums.
