The difference in values can come from flags being disputed or aged away (except SPAM ones, no have disputed attribute). You claim to know only how many flags were helpful. If that comes in the form of a percentage of total, there's still place for bias. If that's just a number of helpful ones (no total), just like what a user like me sees in another one's profile, that makes harder to control abusive flagging. About the badge, could stand the Marshall one but that's gonna happen when it happens. | |
| Jun 30, 2019 at 21:49 | comment | added | Todd A. Jacobs Mod | @TiagoMartinsPeres There are no negative consequences for flag aging, nor for non-abusive levels of flagging. That was the point I was making. You're now solely measured (as far as I can tell) on how many of your flags are marked "helpful," so there's never a decrement applied to the metric. The metric is also largely informational anyway; the system no longer takes flag stats into account in what it shows moderators or other users in the review queue or otherwise. Flag thoughtfully, but treat flag metrics purely as a vanity metric, and then forget about them unless you're chasing a badge. | |

Flag aging is a bit unfortunate because one doesn't learn from it (in cases we wronged), the community remains the same (or not, sometimes a flag ages and appears again raised from other users) and goes to stats (which can later on have consequences that I'm not yet able to see). | |
