I just made a  to flag a "thank you" answer. But this is what I got when I clicked "flag":    This is a brand new account. What happened?  Update: this issue also occurred on Physics SE. It hasn't affected Stack Overflow or Lifehacks SE.

I spotted a  (10k-only by now) and when I went to flag it, the flag dialog told me that I'd already flagged it as VLQ:    The thing is, I'd never seen this post before. And a look at the flag history in my user profile confirms that I haven't flagged a post since yesterday:    Certainly, well before the 2015-02-04 05:36:21Z time of Mr. Miracle's post.  I was able to reproduce this on SO from the VLQ review queue: when you're presented with an answer, click on link at the right side of the page, then click flag. You get the "you have already raised this type of flag" message on either the "it is not an answer" or "it is very low quality" options, I gather depending on the original flag that pushed the post into the VLQ queue.

Looks like flagging has been affected by releases today. Are these intended effects?   Higher daily limits (appear doubled for me, flagging of posts limit also doubled).  Explained by Shog9 below. Soft comment deletion  - e.g. for "accept rate" obsolete comments - it does in fact work, but the immediate feedback is gone.  This is fixed now. Has the throttling rate changed?  Seems possible to repeated flag without waiting 5 seconds.  If it was broken, it isn't anymore. Old soft deletions that were neither categorised as "helpful" or "declined" have all become "helpful".   If limits have been updated, can we get the new formula published? Not changed, as confirmed by Shog9.

I am requesting for a new flag so that we can immediately flag questions in which people are asking for help on a problem from an ongoing contest, and if there is anything related to code or the algorithm in that question, it is deleted permanently from the view of others.  I am asking for this because I have seen a few questions, in which the OP was asking us to help fix their code on Stack Overflow. The Code they posted was from an ongoing contest on , and that would be considered cheating.  On codechef, we are told to not share anything from code, algorithm, or anything related to a problem from an ongoing contest, but since users are unable to ask their questions there, they come to Stack Overflow and ask it there.  Up till now, when I encounter questions like that, I flag them for moderator attention explaining the reason ( I don't have enough reputation to vote to close ).   I have not been a user on SO for long, but I have met a few questions like this already. This is one  . It's already deleted, but I think there should be a quick way to flag it so that it is brought to the notice of moderators quickly so that the code is not leaked. ( I don't want to increase the Work load on moderators, but something similar would be useful ).  So I request a new flag so that these questions can be flagged quickly to prevent the leaking of code and also make it easier, rather than having to type a good reason and wait for a moderator to accept it.  Please forgive me If this is a Duplicate as I could not find anything related to this on MSE yet.

Some preface: I have an alternate account that I'm using to gain rep in order to help test/build bots for the  community on stackoverflow. Bot accounts are essentially users, and they need 20 rep to talk in chat, and 50 in order to add comments.  On this account (with 23 rep), I flagged a question as a duplicate of the wrong post by accident:        When I retracted the duplicate flag, I noticed that the comment was not removed. When I attempted to remove it, there was no [x] icon to the right of the post, and I had no recourse other than to leave the comment up (Which was 100% a wrong duplicate for that post). Additionally, I couldn't even flag it for mod attention, because it was my comment!

When I'm surfing between SE sites where I'm a member (e.g. I'm on SO and I click on a link to Web Apps or something), any of these things can happen, seemingly at random:   Everything is seamless and I'm logged in automatically Or I get a big notification bar saying "Welcome back Mr Lister; Click here to refresh" Or I'm not logged in at all and I need to click the Log In link manually   Why is that? What causes these differences?  Edit: I found , which has a  tag, but I'm not sure if it's the same problem.

After I  and flagged some spam on the , for a poorly-understood reason, I went back to one of the questions I'd flagged and opened the flag dialog. There, I saw something of little importance, but of less than perfect... perfection:        I had flagged  as spam. I had not flagged the question as "not welcome in our community". And, for what it's worth, I had not added a custom flag, so... that part's right.

I was recently presented with  of an accepted answer that looked fine to me. Without any action on my side, the "I'm done" button was available. I assumed this was due to the answer being accepted (I haven't encountered this situation before) and I considered it worth clicking.     Fail.   So there are basically two bugs here:   the "I'm done" button shouldn't have been available since I didn't do anything Since I didn't downvote, flag or comment, the audit shouldn't have failed

NB: I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, or if I just don't know enough about what constitutes a new user. It just seems off to me.  The first post in question:   :   In the context of reviews, is a new user just someone who has never posted an answer no matter their age or rep?  Also: How is it possible for a user to have -1 other answers? Could this be related?

I'm still getting flack about . I downvoted an answer and added a comment explaining my reason. I was later convinced by other comments that it was not a good reason for downvoting. Upon attempting to retract my vote, I inadvertently locked it in.  The hover-text still (over a year later) says I can "click again to undo". But it's a big fat lie.  My specific problem has been resolved. But, I have stumbled across other questions where users have done this. In keeping with the push to help new users not to discover rules after having broken them, I think this text needs to be a little more aware, a little more accurate.

I saw a 1 character  and wondered why; apparently it was after my (less-comprehensive) answer was accepted, to allow the check-mark to be transferred to the higher voted answer (written by the asker) after giving himself a Populist badge.  I think that self-answers should be ineligible for the Populist badge.

I have been using Stack Overflow for a month now. There are "yes" and "no" options for positive and negative response, respectively. I was wondering, how does this feedback affect my reputation?

I've created account on Server Fault with the "Join this community" button. It seems to be created as I see my picture and a starting 101 reputation on top. But when I tried to upvote I got a message I need to login and where I clicked on a different question it showed me I'm not logged in.    I think it didn't even create my account since later I clicked the signup button again, it asked me with which Google account I want to create it (I've two associated with my Chrome browser).

Today I saw a terrible thing in my profile     I'm a Deputy badge holder but my profile is only showing 10 helpful flags.  What is happened to my flags?  The flagging history also looks so confusing, missing many flags.

Steps to reproduce:   Open two questions (with answers, in this case) in different tabs in the same browser Flag an answer to one (might not be needed, but it's what I did, so I'm including it) Someone else (might need a diamond for this) deletes an answer to the other Without reloading the second tab, try opening the flag dialog on the now deleted answer   Environment: Firefox 46.0.1 on up-to-date Windows 8.1.  Actual result: The UI responds with a message stating that I am opening the flag dialog too quickly.  Expected behavior: (A) The flag dialog should open, as happens after I reload the page and click "flag" again. Alternatively, (B) a message should be displayed saying that the answer is ineligible for flagging. If the user doesn't have the reputation necessary to see deleted posts, always do (B).  Something like this, shamelessly borrowed from :

I haven't seen this behavior out in the wild much, but it happened again recently and I was wondering if a flag could be automatically raised when this happens:   User posts answer Answer is down voted User deletes answer User posts exact same text as a new answer User effectively ditched down votes   Got down voted again? Wash, rinse and repeat. Profit (perhaps after modifying the post, which is what you should have done to begin with)    I feel that this should raise a duplicate content flag, with slightly stronger wording. Would this be possible to implement? Or, perhaps, don't let users post new answers if they have a deleted answer to a question. Rather, force them to edit and restore the deleted answer instead, unless locked by a moderator.  I do have a link, but I don't want a lot of people to descend on it and create an even bigger disruption. It happened exactly as I described.

I was able to see , which has been flagged as not an answer, while going through the review tools. Is this supposed to be possible, or is this a glitch? If it's meant to be possible - what's the point of it? Surely being the OP I'm going to be biased and most likely wish to choose to disagree with the flags...    update:   I've been able to select "flag or disagree" and then say "I disagree"...   So, would there be some gaming involved here, if I was to agree with the flag, then delete my own answer (would I get a helpful flag for that), then undelete it (still leave my answer there)...?  However, as expected, it now appears to have disappeared from the queue as expected (or at least I assume it has, as it hasn't appeared in the 50 from multiple page reloads anyway...)  And here it is in flag history:

This is normally what I see when flagging a post:   Which then provides the following options:    I have come across this problem before. Where I have wanted to flag a question, as not belonging here, but only have limited options.    When this happens, I use a custom flag and write in the reason, but am not happy doing so.  Is this a bug?   What is the best thing to do?
