Foil Blogger "flag" button

By happy coincidence, I discovered that the "I stand with Israel" banner in the corner of my blog precludes anyone clicking on the flag. It must be extremely irritating to the insane folk trolling about the internet hoping to be offended, but hey, that's life.

It would follow that anyone who has the technological ability to create a similar banner, about anything at all, that hangs over the "flag" button could block its use. My suggestion would be a strip of bacon with a turban and accessorized with an understated bomb, but I'm sure there are better designers than me around.

Could someone please convey this to Pim's Ghost?

  1. LOL! Great find, ScottSA.

    We'll get to work on it right away. I like the idea of the strip of bacon with a turban.

  2. Hey, if anyone could convey anything technical regarding the web and computers to me and hve it actually sink in I think the Catholic Church would consider it a miracle. Anyone who's been to my site can see that I'm basically at the "linking" stage, and even then I can't manage categories.

    My worry isn't that people are going to go crazy with the "flag" option, after all, they are just trolls. I figure that the "scair mongers" out there wouldn't bother with individually flagging blogs, but going after all at once. That's my worry. If Bedier weren't so laughable, I'd find his presense threatening, but I just don't. Either way I'm all for having a banner on my blog, I just haven't managed it yet, or even the Oriana tribute. In short, I suck.

    I am, however, all for an "I Stand With Bacon" movement. After all, that is in danger as well.

    None of this will help out on YouTube, unfortunately.

  4. I love American ingenuity! Good going. I've been posting about this trolling and flagging. I think it has a more sinister purpose. Check my post Suppression of the internet and a later post.
