Opposed both of them and thanks to everyone who opposed them too.
You have 10 unsupported Flags already!

10? That's simply astounding. I will have to up my game as I currently only have 5.

Just a thought: shouldn't Flags with Insufficient support have a more neutral color than the "normal" Flag colors?

Yes, definitely. It should be a grey color as opposed to yellow or red.

That's one of the great things about this community: I don't even have to oppose the flags against me and they would still be inactive. Most people are pretty keen on preventing flag injustices by the handful that are committed to introducing them. Also partly in thanks to this thread, I imagine.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
I think I should also post a flag that was made against me some time back and it has zero credibility from the reference.
However feel free to support or oppose it whichever you feel is right based on what has been linked.

Yes ! Unfortunately I am the record holder of bitcointalk in most inactive flags.

Please oppose this frivolous "written contract" flag raised against mosprognoz by the Bitcoin SV troll:
He's been busy: he raised all 3 possible Flags against 3 users:

I know this isn't the right thread for this subject
Then please open a new topic Tongue

Please support this flags against mosprognoz and lauda
You're free to ask for Flag Support here, but you kinda lost credibility when you created all Flags the system allowed you to create.

This korner guy has his banned hand in a lot of pies. I know this isn't the right thread for this subject, but we need to see what we can do to get his flood of new alts banned for ban evasion (the ones impersonating people commenting in the SV thread -- you have one now too, named "suchpool"). Banning the Bitcoin SV account would also be nice.

Please take a look at this flag and tell me whether or not you believe it is correct:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=1002


Opposed and tagged the creator.

(Now I'm only one flag behind Veleor for Most Inactive Flags.)

Unfortunately I am the record holder of bitcointalk in most inactive flags.  Grin

BTW, our perfect-trading quant shop / hedge fund boy wonder is costing his "customers" (not sure if he actually has any) more money than they are making after his advertised fees.

OP still never admitted to lying about having a bankroll of 800 BTC, but that's for another flag, this one, to be exact:

PayPal scammer with locked thread, please support/oppose red flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=938

Here is the scam accusation: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/paides1995-is-a-big-scammer-be-aware-and-avoid-his-services-5197475

Evidence is quite reasonable to me.

Hi, i am asking  support for this flag https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=976

photos had to be taken from free stock photos, stock photography uses the same models we never said ever this our team phots buddy get your facts right

You have a point but in your opinion what is the best or most appropriate manner to handle the issue?

What if the flag reference is the thread OP and both the flag and thread were created by the same person?

Flags are an important part of the forum set up but scammers can and definitely have abused it.

Legit flag creators should do the same thing we used to do with red trust references before flags came along - archive all valuable evidence.

Flag abusers will get their flags opposed anyway so there is no big difference if their references are valid or not. I wouldn't go overboard with any special rules on this. The flag system is convoluted enough.

My post was alluding more so towards Flag abusers. I guess you are right, if they abuse the system with Flags they will get opposed but it still does not stop it being a nuisance.

Maybe trying to modify the Flag system at this time is not ideal but some of those factors that were taken in to consideration at time of its release might be considered if it is overhauled in future.

I don't think anyone is missing those reference threads started by korner, but why did they all get deleted?  Was it due to being banned?  I thought that only happened if the account was nuked, but he still has many posts.

Some threads were created by alts that got nuked, some were just zero-value garbage. I think I reported the last one that was on the Off Topic board and it said "flag 123". Literally that's all it had in it - the number of the flag.

Surely if a flag exists for a thread that no longer exists it means the alleged evidence the flag was created on is not available therefore the flag should not exist either.

I wonder what the community consensus is on this.

I dislike the whole idea of forcing a reference to point to a thread (can't point to a specific post or to an archive) and requiring it to not be self-modded etc but then it still allows the thread to be deleted, locked, or the contents to be completely replaced etc. If anything it should require an immutable archive link, or better yet - don't impose any specific requirements that can't be enforced anyway.

But as it stands now, we shouldn't invalidate flags if the reference is removed. A scammer might trick moderators into deleting a thread and apparently moderators can't or won't check if it's used for a flag.
