What are appealing flags on Stack Overflow?

Appealing flags on Stack Overflow are flags that users can raise to draw attention to posts that may need moderator review. They are typically used for issues like spam, offensive content, or other violations of community guidelines.

How do I know if my flag is appealing?

Your flag is considered appealing if it clearly indicates a serious issue that requires moderator attention. Flags that are specific, well-explained, and relate to community standards are more likely to be seen as appealing.

Can I see the status of my flag?

Yes, you can check the status of your flag in your profile under the 'Flags' section. It will show whether your flag was helpful, declined, or still pending.

What happens if my flag is declined?

If your flag is declined, it means the moderators did not find the issue significant enough to take action. You can learn from this to improve future flags.
