If you didn't see it, here's theymos' official take on "Type-1" (yellow) flags:
This is why I don't feel bad about supporting this flag. Was on the fence about it for a while. I wouldn't open one like this myself, but in this case, I do support it.
If you didn't see it, here's theymos' official take on "Type-1" (yellow) flags:
Type-1 flags are more subjective. If you believe:
- Anyone dealing with the user is at a high risk of losing money, due to red flags which any knowledgeable & reasonable forum user should agree with, and not just due to the user's opinions.
- Enough of the above-mentioned factors are listed in the linked topic.
Then you can support it. If you believe the first but not the second, then you should oppose it and create a separate flag. If you believe that the first is incorrect (ie. people dealing with the user are not at a particularly high risk of losing money), then you should oppose it.
The type-1 flags on Quickseller, BSV, etc. aren't misuse of the system by either supporters or opponents.

People see what they want to see. I quoted it earlier, but theymos uses long words sometimes.
After another outburst of Ibian racist stuff on WO thread:
Anyway, what a shitshow I just read through.

I disagree with Ibian's opinions on race and religion last night, and always, and with the other little trolls that came out being all raycis and shit. But I don't raise newbie warning flags against them because they don't have documented dishonesty throughout their posts as shown in the op, this thread and the previous one referred to. They aren't showing any dishonesty. If someone doesn't believe that roach is dishonest or that that is a 'red flag' from the links, fine, it's a subjective flag, vote against or abstain. It's not about roach's opinions or mine. Other people are shown in those links to think him dishonest, well before this flag.snip~
If someone can't bear the subjective balance within theymos' description and further guidelines on newbie flags, @him not me.
But you can go ahead and work your 'posting' job
