How flags and disputed proof work in Quota
Why flags exist
Proof only works if it means something. Most posts are obviously fine, but now and then one clearly isn't: the wrong activity, an empty room, a clip of the ceiling. Flags let the group deal with that fairly, without one person playing referee.
How a flag works
- Someone in the group flags a post and says why. You can't flag your own post.
- The group votes on whether the post shows the goal.
- The vote closes ahead of the poster's own midnight, so there's time to post again if needed.
- If the flag is upheld, the day goes back to what it would have been without that post.
Keeping flags friendly
- Flag the post, not the person. Say what's missing.
- Agree as a group what counts as proof for your goal. See what good proof looks like.
- Give the benefit of the doubt on borderline posts; save flags for clear misses.
Who decides
The group. Quota doesn't review posts, and neither do we. Your posts are visible to your group only.
Questions
What happens when a post is flagged in Quota?
The group votes on it. If the flag is upheld, the day goes back to what it would have been without that post.
Can Quota tell if proof is fake?
Quota only accepts photos and clips taken with its own camera that day, so old media can't be used. Whether a post shows the goal is decided by the group through flags.
Can I flag my own post?
No. Flags are for other people in the group to question a post.
