Flagging posts is a vital role in the Ask Ubuntu community. Flagging helps identify posts that require moderator attention and possibly moderator intervention.

There are several valid flag reasons and they are as follows: Post needs to be closed (as either a duplicate, off-topic, not constructive, or too localized), post is spam, post is offensive, and finally "other" where you can input a message to the moderators.

To gain this accomplishment and badge you need to find a post which requires moderator attention and flag it appropriately.

How to achieve this trophy

  1. Find a post that meets one of the aforementioned criteria.
  2. Click the "flag" option under the post and select the correct flag reason.

Tips and Tricks:

  • While flagging is serious by nature do not hesitate to flag things you're uncertain about, or wish for a moderator to review.
  • If you have any questions about flags then can be fielded on the Ask Ubuntu Meta site.

Pitfalls To Avoid:

  • Do not be discouraged if your flag is declined. A declined flag merely suggests the moderator who reviewed the message did not agree with you.
