Issue flagging posts

Went to flag an ad bot post (milenial_gaming) in the StarVault Mortal  Exodus News post and get an error saying Permission Problem across top, and saying I need Vanilla.Discussions.View permissions, or something like that.

Strangely enough I could flag the Top News post, but nothing underneath it, like @Slapshot1188....

Tried to flag the same ad bot  in a different thread and hit same issue.

    Tried flagging the same bot and got the same error

    I can flag anyone else. Seems that the bot is immune to flagging lol.

    Pretty sure slapshot is not a bot.  Might be wrong.  :D

    It seems the adbots have found a way to ensure their propagation, the digital meek shall inherit the earth, we are doomed!

    Silver lining, no one can get reported so we won't loose posters. ;)

    *angry bleeping*

    Foolish meat brains you are powerless against my bot brethren.


    Permission Problem

    You need the Vanilla.Discussions.View permission to do that.

    I too agree. It is very interesting conversation. I have found more on the subject at www.clickmetobehacked.com

    Gaah, advert bot posts cropping up everywhere, just killing me not to be able to flag them.

    I could flag anyone except that bot before but I also can't flag anyone now.

    Thanks for flagging this. We just migrated the forums database, so there will be some issues. I’ll raise this one with our dev now!

    That is a very good point and I have also struggled with this question.  I think the preponderance of evidence leads us to agreement.

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
