One of my questions was flagged for multiple reasons.
Reason #1…Self-Promotional
Problem: I was asking about a test, they either assumed I was related to the company that administered the test or that I was interested in showing off my own score. Not true on both accounts.
Solution: I could have avoided being flagged by being clear on both accounts.
Reason #2…Vague or unclearly stated.
Problem: I’m still unsure about this one.
Solution: Hard to find a solution, when I’m still unsure about the problem.
Reason #3…Answering your question 8 times isn’t cool.
Problem: No one was answering my question. And after asking it, I kind of realized that no one would probably ever. (It wasn’t very interesting.) I didn’t know how to delete the question, so I decided to entertain myself by replying to my own answer…8 times.
Solution: You can ask the moderator(s) to delete a question instead of resorting to talking to yourself.
Don’t feel disheartened about being flagged though. (So long as your intentions are actually good.)
You’ll see that the moderator(s) are really quite fair and great at what they do.
