| Feb 27, 2014 at 18:59 | comment | added | gnat | compared to SO standards (I have 1K+ helpful flags there, for the record), I would say we're using NAA/VLQ flags very incorrectly, but in the absence of adequate System for Dealing with Poor Answers this "incorrect" usage feels surprisingly fair | |
| Feb 27, 2014 at 16:45 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | @MonicaCellio - Our current mods prefer to take a sit and wait to see what the rest of the community thinks before we act tact. Which is fine, but the only way we can start to rally the community is using flags that the rest of the 10k users can see. We dont see the custom flags | |
| Feb 27, 2014 at 15:01 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @jmac yes, I understand why people are reaching for the only apparent tool. But I'm starting to think that (while waiting for the community-annotation feature we'd like), it would be better to use custom flags to request that mods annotate. As it is, as a 10k user all I can do when presented with one of these flags is to make that request myself -- but the original flagger could have, too. The flags just pile up in the queue and deter reviewers (or at least some reviewers); it's harder to act on the real NAAs and VLQs because of all the other flags. | |

| Feb 27, 2014 at 5:01 | comment | added | jmac | No we aren't, but it is the only tool available to us (short of personal appeal to our mod-overlords) to identify and deal with poor quality posts, especially on hot questions where first-time visitors upvote everything. I think we need to try a new approach instead. | |

| Feb 26, 2014 at 22:14 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | Is it kosher to reveal what's been flagged how? If so I'm happy to do so; just not sure if that's allowed. | |
| Feb 26, 2014 at 21:51 | comment | added | Joe Strazzere | Can you point out an example to two of each? | |

| Feb 26, 2014 at 21:12 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | Short answer: VLQ means the post can't possibly be edited into shape and should just be deleted. Not an answer means it doesn't attempt to answer the question. Next step should be to determine if NAA should apply to answers that don't meet back it up rule guidelines or if we should flag those as "needs citation". See chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/13870646#13870646 for context. I'll write something more substantial later on. :) | |
