How is this topic different from yours? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445377.0

He was right about no new management, but he was wrong if it's a same person. I create this thread just for a reference of my trust flag where someone didn't satisfy with my old flag, when someone have create a new flag, I will lock this topic.

Your wish has been realized after the flag was created, if there is no other purpose in this thread, it looks like you should lock it immediately.

I think it was because of logfiles' comment in the other thread:

New flag against 1xbit1.com as requested by Solosanz: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3143

Please keep the thread to the reference topic open (don't lock it). You can not create a flag using a locked or self-moderated topic and this is by design, therefore, the topic shouldn't be locked as well after creating the flag

This is what the administrator said

You're supposed to use the link in the flag to link to a topic where the flag is explained in detail and people can discuss it, not to the topic where the person was scamming. For discussing the flag, selfmod or locked topics would not be ideal. If a topic doesn't already exist about a scam, create it yourself before creating the flag.

Regarding this recommendation from theymos, there is in fact a topic that discusses this scam accusation already which isn't selfmod or locked.

So personally I think it would be OK to lock this topic, as long as in the OP there is a link to discuss the flag (below the flag link) for example in this format:

Quote

Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3537178

Flag (Support/Oppose): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3143

Discussion topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445339.0

As in reality, there is already a topic about this impersonation scam, so not convinced it needs another.

If a topic doesn't already exist about a scam, create it yourself before creating the flag.

The only issue would then be if the discussion topic is locked or removed, then this topic would need to be re-opened.

(I'm recommending this as there are quite simply too many topics about 1xbit at the moment)
