Advanced Flagging

build

Advanced Flagging started as a set of modular TypeScript tools to aid with StackExchange Userscripts. It has support for:

  • SmokeDetector/metasmoke
  • Natty/Sentinel
  • Generic Bot
  • Guttenberg/CopyPastor
  • Chat

Credits

This code uses different bits and pieces from the following sources:

Installation

Direct install link | View source. Currently, only Tampermonkey is official supported.

What does it do?

Advanced Flagging adds icons from Smokey, Natty and Guttenberg to posts that have been reported. In addition, flags made through the Advanced Flagging interface are reported to Natty, Smokey, Guttenberg and Generic Bot if required.

Interface

Hovering over each option will show a tooltip describing the actions that will be performed on click:

The script also monitors and reports the progress of each action the user decides to perform (e.g. flag, comment, send feedback):

progress I

progress II

progress III

progress IV

There's also support:

  • for flags manually raised through the flag dialog:
