Design mistake for qa_uservotes? Separate table qa_userflags.

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 05:10:59 +0000

I would like to implement the feature that:

1. Users who flag a post must give a reason (note).
2. Users who flagged will be listed with reasons.

Now I see that we have table qa_uservotes that (by its name) should register all votes of users in the forum. However, it is also used for the flagging of posts.

By my thinking, we should have a separate table qa_userflags that stores timestamp, postid, userid for each flag.

I am also confused about the structure of qa_uservotes, that the column "flag" is always "0". Makes no sense in my POV.

Thanks for consideration.

Show flaggers on mouse over

As admin I got used to hover the voting count and see the voters.

It would be helpful to hover the flag message (below the question/a/c) and see the flaggers. But only for admin.

Thx for consideration.

Flagging / Reporting Spam users

Tue, 18 Nov 2014 04:04:08 +0000

Just received this wall post:

on my wall: http://www.question2answer.org/qa/user/q2apro.com - I deleted the post already.

This is the spam user: http://www.question2answer.org/qa/user/Robert+H+Chambers+Sr

Brings up the issue: How to report spam users?

Guess this needs another plugin. Or at least a button for flagging.

Can we add "who flagged" data to /admin/flagged ?

I have written my own plugin (not released) just to see the users who flagged, as well as the posts they flagged.

This is not a fancy thing to do, so I would like to see this in core under /admin/flagged

Basically, the query looks like this:

           $queryRecentFlags = qa_db_query_sub("SELECT postid,userid,flag
                                           FROM `^uservotes`
                                           WHERE `flag` = 1
                                           ORDER BY userid DESC);

This will contain all the necessary data...

In case you might ask, why this is necessary: From the member that flagged a post as Spam I can see (by time of membership and if I know the name etc.) if the spam flag is serious or just a kid...

@gidgreen: Implementation into core should be done fast.

Name of user who flagged a post or question?

Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:24:19 +0000

Just got my first flag but would like to see who flagged it.

Can I just add a handle to qa-lang-emails.php at:

'flagged_body' => "A post by ^p_handle has received ^flags:\n\n^open^p_context^close\n\nClick below to see the post:\n\n^url\n\nThank you,\n\n^site_title",

^a_handle, ^f_handle, ... ?

And is there maybe another way to see the flagger?

Edit: This was asked here as well:
• automatic hidden when flag
