- 2That's interesting, and it's kinda like how flagged chat messages work (there's a little blue thingy next to them, although I'm not sure if that's shown to regular users or only to chat moderators).yannis– yannis2013-05-15 13:31:00 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 13:31
- @Yannis AFAIK it's shown to all users that can see flags in chat. 10k network-wide? You're seing the blue bar.tombull89– tombull892013-05-15 13:34:07 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 13:34
- 2It is a good idea, but might be abused to provide an alternative to downvoting bad comments, which is probably not a good thing. (Comment downvotes would be great, though!)Ry-– Ry-2013-05-15 14:31:12 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 14:31
- @rynah how? I'm saying already flagged comments (this system exists) will just be visibly actionable to moderator-like (high-rep) users. The flagging system won't change under this proposition. You'll still need to flag judiciously and if your flags are declined a lot you'll lose privileges, just like now.djechlin– djechlin2013-05-15 15:06:02 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 15:06
- @djechlin: The deletion of kind-of-wrong-but-still-valid answers is actually a problem I've seen before, and given that comment deletion is irreversible and you can't downvote them, I feel like it's going to be abused by people who disagree heavily with a comment and delete it in context since it's not part of a review queue, which is less... "personal".Ry-– Ry-2013-05-15 16:20:08 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 16:20
- @rynah okay, I agree that's a risk with this proposal - and all proposals, actually; how to balance encouraging deletions of comments that should be deleted from ones that are merely disagreed with? I see how this could be riskier than the queue though given the impersonality factor.djechlin– djechlin2013-05-15 18:28:32 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 18:28

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
