Topics automatically closing due to a large number of flags

Forum Help
#1

Just wondering what the threshold of flags is for this feature and at what point topics are turned back on? Does the forum automatically unlock them after 4 hours or is it left to the discretion of an LTC / DevRel Member? Thanks :slight_smile:

What users are able to flag?

The full members, the new ones or non-members? I suspect non-members can form a group of raiders and flag blindly on any post.

#3

Full and new can flag.

This is in this thread which is full members only, I’m not worried about the flagging since LTC’s seem to be on top of unlocking the thread instantly, just curious about this feature in general

I’m almost certain that so long as the outstanding flags aren’t resolved, the system will automatically lock the topic… so my guess is they are unlocking the topics while simultaneously working on lowering the # of flags?

The posts being flagged in that topic were spam type ones such as “preach” and “I agree”. @buildthomas went through and removed them.

Due to the nature of that particular topic, things were going to get flagged, not for being inappropriate, but for adding no value to the conversation. Echo reopened the topic fairly quickly due to the traffic that it was receiving.
