Hide Reported Content & Flag Abuse
I didn't know where else to post this and I'm not sure if the 'hide reported content' button is default checked or not as mine is unchecked. It is being alleged that people are abusing the Flag butt...

I have also had about half of my EA favorited lots “reported” in the gallery (never mind the rest of my popular lots) that now do not show up in the gallery when I search for them. The most obvious one is “The White House” that has been missing for some time now.
One thing I really don’t understand is why EA favorited lots are being allowed to be marked “reported” in the first place, when EA has already vetted the lot before favoring it? In this case, people are obviously using the Report button for reasons other than what it was meant to be used for.
@schnuck01 I don’t think you need worry too much about it, you’re the top builder in the Gallery right now anyway, and this does not seem to be affecting your popularity. For me, I don’t worry about popularity anymore. I just want to play and have fun... it sure is a lot less stressful! 🙂
@ehaught58 - yeah, like I said I wouldn't even care, it's not the default setting - which would be a HUGE problem for MANY people - but, I don't like that my stuff is now permanently flagged - there's currently no system in place that unflags once it's found 'not guilty' . It's not about being 'popular', it's about being unfairly flagged and a bad system.
@schnuck01 I agree. Flagged content should be checked and the flag should be removed if there's nothing wrong with it. As they answered me it looks like there's just some coding and an algorithm, with no human presence involved at all, and that feels just unfair. I never checked hide reported content until I read a share in the gallery speaking of that. And I checked my library and discovered that my latests LGBT families had been flagged, so I found it a little homophobic and wrong. Then I learned that all my maxis favs are flagged too. And that sound really like they don't know what they are doing, I'm not a big fish in the gallery so I don't care too much for downloads and favs. I'm in it for the fun. 🥳
