In my thread about my move to Emby:

There is a post by me, the fourth post down or so, that has 5 flags as spam. The problem is not the 5 or the fact that it is flagged as spam but rather that it seems that only one person actually flagged that post and the 5 number is causing it to be buried.

Again I don’t care about people choosing to flag any post they choose and I do not really care if people feel a post deserves to be multiply flagged and thereby buried but it seems that something has gone wrong because there is just one name attached to the spam flag.

I am also unsure why that post is considered to be spam as I though it was quite relevant to the discussion and not even particularly controversial. But that, also, does not matter much at all it is just I fail to see why that post deserves to be buried.

Very interesting indeed. I decided to flag as spam to see and my name showed up in the list. Though, I got a popup stating Otto approved the message.

Odd though that only one user is displayed(after i removed my spam count) while there is 5 who reported it.

Yes, it was flagged as spam, but I removed the flag now. There is nothing spammy about that post.

Thank you. It is now clearly fixed and my spam count is down, if that matters.

One more thing there are several “flags” (about 4 or 5 or maybe a few more) on my account that do not seem to have any post associated with the flags so I cannot see what, if anything, I did wrong. The flags involved are both under “spam” and “abuse.” One more time it does not matter much but when I noticed that other post I decided to check the other flags.
