I’m sorry, I really wasn’t trying to be dismissive. There is no tool currently for the redirect. We would have to bump it over to the Discourse team who may or may not have a solution for it but would probably need us to have a Tech Admin which we still don’t have.

We were dealing with ghost flags that hide from us. We’re still dealing with 2 flags options that don’t generate messages for communicating with the flagger and some other stuff I can’t even think of right now.

I know there are a few minor issues with the tags that need a tech admin. etc.

In the simplest scenario, the judge says “Evil must pay Righteous the full $90k.” Then Righteous gets $60k and the attorney gets $30k. But what if the judge is so appalled by Evil that she says, “Evi…
