Problem flagging
Hey levik how about a way to "flag problems u submitted?" What does it mean to flag a problem? Well lets say u submit a problem, like when i submitted nothing in everything, and a few days later you realize its a bad problem and want it deleted. Y not just give the option of flagging your problem so it gets deleted? Also if you've submitted problems, but then all of the sudden on the site see the same problem, u would then need to flag ur problem to get rid of it?
BTW: levik you still haven't responded to "sorry to bug you again levik" in this forum?
Sorry about all the questions but i have one more. do u mind when ppl type with slang like in this sentence and bad grammar? |

Re: Problem flagging
Alan, I don't think something such as what you propose is neccessary. After all, if you realize the problem to be a dupe or something, you can always leave a note on it asking it be deleted, and that note will be visible when the problem gets to voting. What would probably be a good idea is allowing users who have reached some rank (probably apprentice) to delete problems that have not yet been approved. I may end up implementing that.
Sorry for not respondin to your previous post. The idea is good, and I figured I'd just do it, but so far the time has not presented itself.
As far as slang/grammar, I can't say I mind horribly, but realize that whenever you post problems that way, I will have to go and fix it, since I want the stuff on this site to be up to some level of professional looking-ness stuff thingy. Well, you get what I mean. So yeah, it would be better if people would take the time to submit stuff properly written, but I'm not about to start turning down problems because of bad spelling/grammar.
Overall, unless you're typing on a cell phone keypad, I've never understood the urge of people to save two keystrokes by turning nice looking "you are" into a horribly immature "u r". But that's my personal taste, and I'm not about to force it on anyone. |

Re: Problem flagging
for problems i will always type them professionally as if it were a professional problem. Also for the ability to delete unapproved problems, should this power be entrusted to apprentices? if this were to be implemented i'd say only scholars be granted this, seeing as how they have the "live problem power" but if u feel differently from this perhaps a forum thread may be neccesary. |

Re: Problem flagging
well, this ability would only apply to people's own problems obviously. as such, I think an apprentice will know enough about the site to be able to do this. |
