Can't flag some tags

For some reason, the [flag] button isn't showing up next to the "[+][flag]" and "waffles" tags. Why?

Why would you want to flag the tag "waffles" anyway?

Re: Can't flag some tags

I think that this it to prevent tag-flag spamming, so you can only flag a certain tag once.

That makes sense, but I flagged multiple waffles.

I thought that too  tongue  Imagine a flag on a waffle.

Re: Can't flag some tags

Let's be honest, here.

I know you might think that the Waffles tags are annoying, but how are they wrong? People can tag what they want. If they want to give into a trend, just let them. Besides, the Scratch Team has to personally view each and every tag, and I don't think they care much about the trend either. So flagging a harmless trend probably doesn't make them happy.

Re: Can't flag some tags

Waffles is a spam tag, and should be flagged. Unfortunately, there does seem to be a glitch with not being able to flag a single tag more than X times. (I don't know what X is.)

Well isn't that interesting.
Btw, X is a number that I don't know (like in math, X is a variable).

I think Scimonster knows what a variable is.  tongue  I believe his point was that he doesn't know what the variable is equal to, not that he doesn't know what a variable is.

And Scimonster, I suggest you look at my posts on the link that Molybdenum provided, because I would disagree that such tags should be spam. They don't violate the Community Guidelines at all, and they are harmless.

Yeah, i know what a variable is. I don't know the value though.  tongue

I looked at your posts, and i agreed that these tags are considered spam.

Re: Can't flag some tags

You can only flag one tag until later

IMHO, if a project is about waffles, don't flag it.  Otherwise, flag it.  However, they don't want random users flagging random tags.

I knew that... I flag waffles on things that don't have to do with waffles, etc. But the flag button doesn't show up on some tags anymore.

Try erasing your cache. I might have used incorrect terminology, but things like that usually work for me.

Re: Can't flag some tags

It is a necropost, but it's not a bad necropost because the topic is still relevant.

Anyways, I still don't think you should go around flagging trends.
