I'm hoping somebody will start submitting some rubbish stories so I can try flagging them.

I flagged this post :-) (the post, not your comment)

edit1: I did this before pg explained what 'flag' is for. Now I feel bad.

edit2: oops... I am used to clicking on the last link 'parent'. Did it once by mistake on a comment.

i wish we could un-flag. some will be curious to what will happen if you click on it.

ok; here's the source, btw:

  (def flaglink (i user whence)
    (when (and user (> (karma user) flag-threshold*))
      (pr bar*)
      (w/rlink (do (if (mem user i!flags)
                       (pull user i!flags)
                       (push user i!flags))
                   (save-item i)
                   whence)
        (pr (if (mem user i!flags) "unflag" "flag")))))

There are some things man was not meant to know.

Hm, all I see is a toggle: my post now says "flagged". I presume this means that Anubis is weighing my heart and deciding whether I'm bound for the netherworld.

Okay, upon further warning from PG, I deleted my flagged post to save myself from the netherworld.

This uncovered a bug: a deleted + flagged post produces a strange looking thing in Safari: the words "deleted" and "flagged" superimposed on each other.

Same for 10.4 / FF2.

same for FF3/WIN

Same for FF3 / Hardy Heron.

Same for opera.

Same for (corporate-provided) IE 6.

Same for FF3 / 10.5.

same for IE7

Well that was boring. The "flag" link changed to "flagged". No big explanatory screen like craigslist.

Flag! You're it. Now I probably get banned for misusing it. ;)
