The comment flag feature is being abused

The comment flag feature is being abused | We need a comment flag LIMIT; I had to deal with an alt in msmg flag like 45+ comments for no reason (none of which broke stream rules or tos minus the alt's comments itself). Comment flags imo should be limited to like 10...that way, if you need to, you have enough flags to report a thread, but not abuse the feature | image tagged in e | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Yes, I agree. You should only get like, 4 or 5 flags per day maybe

You can ban ppl from flagging stuff in a certain stream that you own?

But what if they make an alt? Having a flag limit for comment flags makes the most sense as the limit would not reset for newly created accounts on the same device (that's how image flag limits work)

If you log out from an account that has already reached an image flag limit and then log into a newly created account, that new account will still have the limit (from what I've seen).

I don't know man, most of the time my comment gets flagged by some asshole who just abuses the system.

My comment ends up being deleted and I'll get a timer. I really hope imgflip would improve this. It will benefit the site.

Like a, "if you're caught making alts that cause drama then _____"
0 ups, 2y
Same for talking about them, as talking about the alts causes the creator to make.more for attention

Yeah, if you flag a comment the mod will probably read the whole thread anyway

This idea came to me really to prevent people from abusing the feature tho, to prevent people from making mods waste time ignoring like 100+ comment flags that DONT break tos, but were flagged for no reason/to be annoying
