Oct 2, 2013 at 9:14 comment added Carlo Beenakker @WillieWong --- thanks for the explanation; I had misread the "3 hours per flag" as an estimate of the time a moderator is actually busy handling the flagged issue.
Oct 2, 2013 at 8:01 comment added Willie Wong If MO is anything like MSE, the 3 hrs is due in large part to (a) no moderator being online and the moment and (b) some times a flag needs to stay open to keep all other moderators informed. Even with 8 moderators active on MSE, the current handling time is 2.5 hrs per flag on average. So I would say 3 hrs is pretty normal (and on the good side) considering the man power we have available on MO.
Oct 2, 2013 at 7:38 comment added Michael Greinecker I think it is worth pointing out that some flags need no moderator attention at all. "Low quality"-flags are visible to high ranking users, who can close and delete themselves. - Edit: But maybe MO has too few 10k+ users to make this workable.
