Flag experience for newbie

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I have seen a lot of newbies (not only newbies sometimes experienced forum members too) want to create a red flag but instead they end up creating the flag type one which only be shown to guests/newbies and under the scammers profile we only see a hash tag.

If I am not wrong then:
A user can not create a flag for another user for a certain amount of time once they create any kind of flag for that same user.

So, according to this algorithm/rule, when a mistake occurs then there are no way to correct it by creating another flag for the same user by the same victim. If this is for flag type two and three then no one else also can not create the red flag.

Example here:

User konungbarber has a scam accusation against user p2pb2b.io. After reading the topic I suggested them to create a red flag (either type two or three). When they were creating the flag I think they were not sure which to chose and ended up creating the flag type one. It's clear from the PM they sent me.

Hello.

Thank you for your support!

I've created "red flag" for p2pb2b, but put it as "Due to various concrete red flags, I believe that anyone dealing with this user has a high risk of losing money. (This flag will only be shown to guests/newbies.)".

Should I delete it and create new one with type "This user violated a casual or implied agreement with me, resulting in damages." or "This user violated a written contract with me, resulting in damages."?

Now as you can see, they can not correct the flag also no one else (suppose I want to create the red flag on behalf of konungbarber) can create a red flag unless they are direct victim.

Would not it be better to let the user to modify a flag type if they make a mistake? In this example p2pb2b.io really needs a red flag.

Have they tried to create a Type 2 or 3 flag? Creating a Type 1 flag shouldn't prevent them from also creating a higher level flag on the same user. See below from theymos:

These limits are in place:
 - Per 180 days, you can only give 1 flag of each type to a given user. So you can't give someone multiple written-contract-violation flags in 180 days, for example.
 - Globally, per year you can only create 1 flag per activity point you have, but at least 1/year.

I just tried it using the test account created by theymos and it is working.
I created a flag type 1 then created a flag type 3 with no problems.

But what to do if you add a link to the wrong topic when creating the flag? How to edit the link knowing that you can't create a new flag.

You should double-check it before creating a flag.

The flag system was a mistake. It is very obvious.

I am not saying the old system was perfect but it was clearly better than this complicated garbage.

All theymos had to do was to remove the abusers from the dt list.

It is funny he didn't do it with the old system (as far as I know) but then he had to remove a certain individual after he implemented the new system.

Dear all, thank you for clarification of this matter.

I've tried to put the correct "right red" flag, but made a mistake, unfortunately.

The phrase "Due to various concrete red flags, I believe that anyone dealing with this user has a high risk of losing money." seems like proper, and I didn't put attention to "This flag will only be shown to guests/newbies".

I just tried it using the test account created by theymos and it is working.
I created a flag type 1 then created a flag type 3 with no problems.

But what to do if you add a link to the wrong topic when creating the flag? How to edit the link knowing that you can't create a new flag.

In this case I will create a new flag with type 3.

Thanks again!

I completely missed that. In my mind it was what I said in the OP. Thanks o_e_l_e_o for the clarification. I will lock this topic in the next few hours just to ensure if anyone has anything to say then they can post.

In this case I will create a new flag with type 3.

Thanks again!

I do not see the new red flag yet however once you are able to create one then please feel free to PM me in case I miss to support it. Sorry about the wrong information in the PM. Hopefully you understand now that I was not well informed.
