Hey everyone! Flagging non-vios is flagging abuse...

MNA, on January 29, 2017 at 6:43 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 22

...and is against the Community Guidelines.

You cannot flag a post because:

-You disagree with it

-You don't like it

-You become butthurt by it

-You are offended by it

-You think it is "harsh," "mean," or "rude"

-There is no name calling, personal attacks (and no, telling someone their idea sucks does not qualify), stalking, etc

Posts to flag:

-Advertising

-Posts that include name calling (again, as the Mods have stated many times, calling an IDEA stupid is okay, calling a PERSON stupid is NOT!)

-posts that are personal attacks

-posts that tell someone not to post/how to post

-posts that tell people to leave

-"Bye Felicia" posts, UNLESS they are directed to someone who has announced they are leaving

-posts that announce the person is leaving

Flagging non-vio posts is a strikeable offense, so keep that in mind.

Regulars: Feel free to email mods at community@weddingwire.com about the unreasonable flags, as they CAN see who has done the flagging and take action, esp. on serials.

    @Fiddlin: I still want to know why a user was allowed to repeatedly attack and call names last night, but is still allowed to post today.

    Thanks MNA! Is there a list somewhere of specific flagged terms? As I found out last week, apparently certain phrases by themselves are vios...

    By the time last night's thread was flagged down, it had been several pages of nothing but arguments between a few users. It would have been locked if it hadn't gotten flagged.

    Everyone needs to remember that the rules apply to everyone. Everyone should be able to manage to not call names or make personal attacks/criticisms.

    WWLaura, so saying its tacky to have double rings is a vio? I am genuinely confused about that. I'm not calling the user names nor making a personal attack.

    No, that's not a vio. But calling people "booty bothered users" is name calling.

    Gotcha. Noted.

    Then why was my comment on the Stock the Bar thread flagged down?

    I hadn't reviewed it yet, but looking at it now, I don't think it is. I just put it back up. It was flagged because some people thought you were calling the person tacky. I think it's reasonable that that's not what you meant, so I would not consider it a vio.

    @mna pretty sure that bringing up past conversations or questions for the purpose of upsetting or drawing negative attention to another member is a vio .

    I'd like to add, seeing as how WWLaura responded to said post, I'm *pretty sure* it's not a vio.

    Flags were reviewed. Our violation policy was followed. Often things are flagged that we do not agree are personal attacks, etc.
