| Oct 22, 2013 at 1:35 | comment | added | jmac | @AndersUP, I definitely meant 'cue' not 'queue', though 'clue' works too. Thanks for the edit. | |

| Oct 21, 2013 at 4:50 | comment | added | Pekka | @mike then have the text say "this option is disabled because incorrect answer should not be flagged." It doesn't get any clearer that this really and you'll always have some people doing it wrong no matter what you do | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 4:48 | comment | added | Mike Pennington | @perhapsPekka, that is one outcome of a disabled option; other outcomes are questions on Meta about why they can't select that disabled option, or completely ignoring your disabled option in favor of NAA | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 4:38 | comment | added | Pekka | I like it being disabled. It conveys the point perfectly and much more clearly than a sentence saying "do not choose this..." somewhere in the text where people will overlook it | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 3:59 | comment | added | jmac | @Mike, people don't read instructions, but they would read the heading saying 'this answer is wrong' and wonder why they couldn't click it. That would cause them to read the instructions. Tacking on additional text would not solve the issue as people who read just the headings would continue the undesired behavior. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 3:58 | comment | added | jmac | I was considering that too @animuson, but the issue with that would be if a new user flagged spam, for instance, and saw an option to flag for a wrong answer it would give the impression that flagging for a wrong answer was appropriate until they actually clicked through. The other thought I'd had was to have the 'NAA' option go to a menu with multiple options (this should be a comment, this should be an edit, this does not attempt to answer the question, this is wrong), but that would make flagging more tedious for those doing it properly. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 2:53 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | I don't like the idea of it being disabled. I think that would just cause more confusion for users. If a fake option were added, I'd rather it be enabled and upon submission take them to another page or popup some information which explains what should be flagged and why they're seeing this message; kind of like a review audit. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 2:53 | comment | added | Mike Pennington | "Mike's answer misses the mark because people don't read instructions"... so your answer is to... add more instructions?? | |
