I was flagged for no reason. This needs to stop. It really gets on my nerves.
Welcome to the forum.
However, it won't stop unless the entire flag system is removed. People are not using the flag to "disagree"; they are doing it specifically to annoy you and they also like to see their handy work when your spam and abuse numbers go up. They get instant feedback when your spam/abuse numbers go up. And they get more feedback when you create threads like this one informing them that you are annoyed. Just ask @CrusherOfDreams how that worked out for him.
In your case, you posted a number of different threads on different topics -- all legitimate and within the rules -- all on the same day.
That makes you a target for the trolls because now they know you exist.
Just no unnecessary polls please. The forum is already littered with them. I didn't flag you, but creating 3-4 polls in a day on topics which have been addressed many, many times in the past will make you come across as a spammer and hence become a target for the flags.
To answer your questions which you created polls for, yes Rogue is good, no premium crystals are not worth it, Mystic is the best class, SL and the new Stark enhanced Spider-Man are the best techs and invest in masteries. You didn't need to create polls to answer these questions.
It's stupid, but mods don't like us saying that. Don't be surprised if this thread gets shut down and you get a "warning" for voicing a completely valid opinion. Just try to ignore the flags. I try, I fail sometimes. Check my profile. I've seen my fair share of bogus flags that Kabam refuses to remove
@Kabam Miike Personally I think the flag button should get moved to behind LOL maybe. A lot of people scroll with their left thumb near the left edge and sometimes might accidentally flag a post as they're scrolling thru posts. I think this might be one of the reasons sometimes posts that are just fine are flagged, granted you do have people that will be ignorant and flag someone else because they don't like them or they don't like what they are saying. Idk, it's just a thought.
no
Would you like to elaborate on why "no"? I've seen peoples posts that someone flagged and there was nothing wrong with their post and the same has happened to a post or 2 of mine, that were fine and there was nothing wrong with them. The location of the flag button and how most people scroll thru, is the only thing that I can think of for some people's posts being flagged....besides some people just being ignorant and flagging others for no reason.
If a random person told you they would rather not see you any more, would you decide to stop leaving the house?
You should care what the other players on the forums think, because the expressed purpose of the forums is to allow the players to interact with each other, and you shouldn't generally be a turd. But by the same token, some people will react unreasonably to you or your posts, and if no positive thing can come from it you should simply let it, and them, go.
If you really feel the need to do something to get back at them, be interesting.

You are assuming that there is a significant number of people who flagged people by accident and thus your suggestion would reduce these occurrences of accidental flagging.
How many times have you flagged people by accident? And did you not notice that simply clicking on the "flag" does not automatically flag someone?
The flag is not like any of the other options at all.
Click on "LoL" and you just increased the number by 1. Then click Awesome. That too goes up by 1 and reduces the LoL by 1 (if you had already selected LoL as indicated). Click Awesome again and it reduces by 1.
Try that with the flag. It behaves quite differently. You get a list of options to pick when you select flag.
In other words, flagging someone is done deliberately, not by accident.

No my friend. Just get used to people being negative.
To answer your questions which you created polls for, yes Rogue is good, no premium crystals are not worth it, Mystic is the best class, SL and the new Stark enhanced Spider-Man are the best techs and invest in masteries. You didn't need to create polls to answer these questions.
Do not become a poll troll.

No. And ignore any comments about polls. If you like polls, use them.
