I understand that processing flagged challenge takes time (though not really sur… e how such processing works exactly, see https://github.com/maproulette/challenge-reports/issues/7 from Feb 26)
But maybe hiding flagged challenges from list shown to users on MR homepage would make sense? To reduce exposure of users to problematic ones?
(there is obviously risk of someone maliciously flagging stuff - but if someone is vandal then detecting them and blocking on such easy to revert vandalism would be actually benefit, and it is not feasible to flag so many tasks that MR will run out of things to display)
Current reaction time to reports is long enough that stopping damage by blocking flagged ones would be highly welcome and would encourage people to bother reporting challenges causing harm.
Currently flagging appears to be mostly placebo.
