As of HF21 we all get free flags. Everyone around here will have the ability to flag stuff they think sucks. Unfortunately when you put everyone in one bucket it turns out what sucks is really subjective. For the people that love memes they find memes great. For the people that see this as a blogging space they think it's a shitpost. One man's shitpost is a another man's treasure (sorry ladies, furries, and everyone else for excluding you in this previous sentence).
So, look. It's likely you'll catch fewer flags in the tribes and communities if you're using tags correctly, but if you're using them incorrectly it'll probably go up.
What to do if you're flagged?
Options
- ignore it
- get stark raving mad and write an entitled post about it
- revenge flag all of their accounts
- write a post describing the flag without entitlement sharing why their opinion flagging is shitty
I suggest the last option, but over the next 2 months I imagine we'll see many of them.
Madlib
If you don't know what a mad lib is it's probably because you're a (insult).
See what I did there? A mad lib is a silly paragraph or article that has some fill in the blanks to make a silly paragraph.
Let's try this one of how to a "I got flagged" post incorrectly
Dear (term involving a curse word),
Are you fucking serious right now? My post on (random topic) is literally the most (adjective) post about (random topic, but more specific) in the entire (geographical location. You seriously have to be (insult) to not realize how fucking (uplifitng self aggrandizement) I am.
I'm going to find you and I'm going to (verb) you. I'm also going to (verb) your (family member) and pet (animal).
May you suffer from (sexually transmitted disease) for the rest of your (term for meaningless) blogging career.
How dare you flag me! Eat my (sexualized noun).
