They flagged my post to bring back the WAYDRN thread. Imagine that. 

Lots of folks drunk on that internet courage, brother.

I wonder if they are “fat finger” flags? On my phone the flag and like buttons are aligned vertically and very close together. That’s all I can imagine - the posts in question are not controversial in any way. 

I just tried to flag your post as I've never flagged anyone. It appears you have to hit the flag button and than choose the reason why you're flagging. It would be pretty hard to flag someone accidentally.

The Off Topic and Disagree button you only have to hit once. I hit those all the time on accident with my fat fingers.

I shake my head at anyone that "Flags" any post. What is the point. Everyone has the right to speak what they think. If you don't like it...move along or respond.

Twasn’t me but don’t complain if it gets buffaloed again . Covid has become politicized. Post comments about it on a separate thread.

I am going to say no brother Aggie. To flag someone’s post as “troll” you must hit the “flag” button and then chose from 3 options. There is no way to accidentally flag a post as troll.

Temp finally dropped below a 100, time for a ride.

It's still 103 here. Hope you had a good ride.

I did, thank you!  103 at night is no fun.  Makes me wonder how folks did it before A/C, ice, and cold beer.  I think it would lose some of the romance.

Nobody lived there before AC, ice and cold beer.

I got flagged or something on a father's day post about my children fixing up my basement office and the gift they gave me.

Some folks just seem to get their jollies doing it. I guess if that is your only activity which brings you some sort of comfort, feel free. I am glad to help you out.

Well here’s my new raised beds just for fun.

@ColtsFan I really like the flavor of a flank steak........

This is also humorous - to me anyway. 

Here is a parking lot at my school - obviously with one car...

Now if you look you will see that this person has taken up two spaces. 

Here’s the good part. One is hers. The other is mine. This person does this all the time. I’ve spoken to them about it and the truth is they literally are unable to park...

More examples by the same individual.

 It would be better if they were. Cowards hid behind flags in my opinion.

You and I see raised beds.  @caliking and @20stone see a place to bury and roast whole animals.

Nope. They are all covering the exact same topic. Someone is butthurt

Given the strict guidelines by the Buffalo, and the desire of some to stoke unrest and divisiveness within the forum, this post shall not last much longer.  It's a cryin' shame.

I always try to look for a upside, in this case, when they go home, they are not parking in your garage.  🙂

The fact of the matter is: stuff getting flagged is what calls the Buffalo’s attention.

@JohnInCarolina for someone who‘s been flagged almost 800 times, you’re awfully sensitive.

The flags do annoy me, because if people have an issue with what I post here, I would really prefer they just tell me why, instead of hiding behind an anonymous flag.  For people who care about threads like this, an added bonus is that only one of these approaches draws the attention of the Buffalo.

This makes me laugh too.  Although it makes you wonder about the robustness of the drivers license testing in the state.

The thing is you whined about this thread getting locked then drop your little "truth" bombs knowing anything about the Rona is politically charged right now and stand back like



Its really quite transparent and I honestly don't think you can help yourself at this point. And no Im not the "flagger". Never flagged anyone here.

There are a lot of trolls on the forum, I suspect they are hitting the flag button

I "whined" about this thread getting locked?  I don't think so.  I'm really not one of the people here who has some attachment to any thread on the forum.  They're just threads on a friggin bbq forum to me.  By the same token, I realize not everyone feels that way, and so here, today,  I am just explaining to people how this works. 

As far as the current discussion around covid-19 statistics, your objection would have more weight were I the one who introduced the topic here.  I'm not.  I'm not even the first to respond to the one who did.  Personally, I think the notion that things like this have become "politically charged" is friggin ridiculous.  If people can't handle discussions of the reality of what is happening in this country right now because they've decided it's "politically charged," then I'm sorry but the problem is with them and not me.

And the funny thing is that I totally agree with you, discussion about Covid should not be politically charged and the fact that it is is absurd. You know enough about the dynamics of this forum to know that is not the reality here. I just think that if people want threads like these to survive, certain topics should not be posted in them(again, absurd) and relegated to separate threads or in obviously soon the be Buffaloed threads. We're not as far apart in thinking as it may appear, we just see things differently. Enjoy your day

I do understand the dynamics of the forum, but my point is that it doesn’t have to be that way.  This is a community and we do have some say in terms of how it goes.  Some people see things as they are and just accept them, but I’ve never been one of those people.

And good day to you, sir.
