| Feb 25, 2016 at 7:06 | comment | added | user9517 | @JimB There are very few people actively engaged with SF beyond getting their (mostly crappy) questions answered. Those few that are left mostly have the tools available to them not to need moderator intervention. For example I have cast just <10 non spam/rude flags since 2014. It is the people in the middle gronud that generally cast flags. SF has very few of them. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 19:27 | comment | added | Jim B | @sysadmin1138 so it looks like we have no numbers on actual flags other than spam/offensive. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 3:10 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @JimB Sally is right. The 5th line down, questions deleted by moderator, is a better proxy for a flag causing a moderator to hammer a question. The same goes for third down, answers mod-hammered. It is a rare question or answer that earns 6 spam-flags without being mod-hammered. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 2:12 | comment | added | Jim B | @sysadmin1138 I don't know if that's the case, I'd like to see flag numbers for both sites to compare. If I'm reading the numbers below correctly, only .86% of questions were flagged. | |
| Feb 19, 2016 at 19:36 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | "A lot of answered questions get migrated away from SF." I have a not-amazing but still top 21% rep on DBA.stackexchange.com that's mostly from migrations. :) | |

> Deletion by 10K users is not very frequent on either site - there is a good reason for that, you have hidden the UI in plain sight. When you find it, it is very difficult to use. For example it does not hide stuff that you have already voted on so it becomes an exercise in self flagellation and most people give up. I even raised the issue on mSE and it got ignored and merged into something completely different. So mission accomplished from your side I guess

In large part because us mods are trusted to respond to flags in a timely way (the days of the 4 hour average-flag-response time are long gone). If you merge the mod-smack and review-smack segments on both SO and SF charts, you get close-ish numbers. | |
