Grants talk:IdeaLab/Making it an option to 'flag' an editor, after which a moderator would come and see whether the user should be blocked

Oppose

Once again, another terrible idea from this lab. This idea fails because it deprives the "flagged user" of due process. There is already a process for receiving a review of user conduct and it is en:WP:ANI. There absolutely should never be a secret form of drawing negative attention to another editor without their knowing about it.--TParis (talk) 02:02, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, this proposal should be marked as "solved" (like many others). All wikis have a way to report problematic users (with a fallback at SR if the wiki is too small). Nemo 16:05, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

The other factor is that such a system allows for another, more covert form of harassment (continuously reporting the same constructive editor) Appable (talk) 19:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
