In addition, we also have flags now, which are even more unknown to some of our uninterested / shitposting forum members.
Ugh, those flags. Just my unsolicited opinion here, but those just complicate an already byzantine system of trust feedback. I'm not claiming they're not useful at all, but if you wonder why a lot of members don't understand said trust system it's likely because they'd have to spend an inordinate amount of time figuring out what to do in what situation and why some things are appropriate and other things aren't--and to a newcomer (or even someone who's been here for months), I can see how everything might not be crystal clear, especially if those members haven't had the need to use the system before.
I'm always open to review DT issues when people are admitting their mistakes.
Yep, and this is why threads like this one are useful (JollyGood has had at least one similar to this). It'd be nice if mr.relax would weigh in and let the community know if he got the message or not.
