this whole flagging posts idea is crap.. let the board self moderate as it usually does. if a post annoys/offends you then stop watching it. why does CNET feel they need to censor?

- ITA. FLAGGING posts is not what UB is about! It is about being annoying and bitchy and wrong, and still no one knows who you are~! Why ruin the point of UB? Even the annoying long posts!

    - I agree, i hate them, but along with getting rid of them, is that when ever someone gets annoyed with someones opinion, they will be flagged! Ruins the point of UB to have a difference of opinon and not knowing who saiod it!

    - the person flagged is looked at by mediator. They decide if they should be kicked off. Stupid.

      - you are missing it. of course it was monitored. but now everyone will flag anything! And the mediator will end up banning too many people for stupid things like cursing!
