A user flagged this chat post as offensive or spam. Like 95% of flags, that post actually isn't offensive or spam. Unlike 95% of flags, however, it pointed to a real problem: the very next post, with a mildly disturbing computer simulated image.
I'm asked to judge whether the post is offensive or not. Technically it isn't, so if I say "no" I'll reduce the weight of future flags from this user. Practically, it is -- you just had to see the context to see the problem; something the flag interface doesn't provide.
- It wouldn't make sense to say "yes," because I'd contribute to removing the wrong message.
- It wouldn't make sense to say "no," because there's a real problem there and the user should be rewarded for it.
- It wouldn't make sense to do nothing, because it feels wrong.
