Meh, he seems fine.
Yeah, that works for me, but he seems increasingly like someone who provides no value other than to be a dick in defense of his own creepiness.

Tbf to orgies (and I disagree with basically everything heās said), the issue was basically over until six poured gasoline on the embers for no reason.
Whether or not he created a gimmick to back himself up is another matter.
I agree with this. 6ix seems to always come into every discussion days late to rehash long resolved issues and stir up shit when it was over for a long time.
6ix is a funny fucker.

This flagging system needs to change
What needs to change?
If two people are in an argument one shouldnāt be able to flag your post because theyāre mad.
I donāt think you can fix it by code.
Donāt multiple people have to flag a post before anything gets sent to mods and the post gets hidden?
Flagging definitely seems to be overused here.
I mean itās completely justified in the thread tab is likely referring to on some posts there but in general it is overused.
Some people seem to enjoy flagging posts as a joke, which I can assure you actually isnāt very funny at all to the 6 different people who get a notification about it. It also decreases your flagging mojo because those flags are always ignored.

I agree with this. I have an issue with a couple people being able to censor the forum for arguments or differences of opinion and since flags are not publicly open the regular user base canāt even decide if it is being used without moderator intervention.
I just think itās implementation is contrary to what the broad majority want here. It is great to quickly get rid of extreme material but it is horrible when used to settle differences of opinion. It has been used much more frequently for the later than the former.
I donāt know what kind of ready controls are available. If we could set the threshold to hide a post to ten or something that would resolve most of my issues with it.

Cant you just hide posts if it gets more than x flags and not notify 6 moderators? Like a reddit downvote or something (im not on reddit a lot so its possible thats not the actual way it works)
I am in favor of turning down the sensitivity. I am also in favor discussing what happens if people abuse the flag system. But it is not urgent and I doubt we will reach any consensus.
I do implore people that if they are flagging out of dislike or anger or longer term issues with a fellow poster if ignoring isnāt a better choice.
Personally I think people should put a post out of user context and judge it solely as if you were a stranger who came across the discussion and knew nothing of people involved. Would you believe it should be hidden?
I donāt think either of those should have been flagged. You should have put them on ignore.
4 and its gone 
I think it matters how you flag it. Yours were āSomething Elseā, as opposed to grueās āInappropriateā.
Is it helpful to flag the start of a derail as off-topic so that mods can prune a thread and create a new one or do yāall read enough of the major threads and see the need without flagging?
A handful of times Iāve wanted to do this, but then I remember what it was like when I was a mod, and I donāt do it. Even when I knew it was funny, it wasnāt funny.
They were all cowards
