 5,000 KM Beard GrowthWas anyone else hoping for a 5,000 KM long beard? Very cool though. Comment by Jacob Courtade |
 Sinister CelebtographyAh, good point Ayman. Maybe that was JG's design in the first place; to prevent other hunters from flagging incorrectly as dupes and having that show up on the trend? Comment by Jacob Courtade |
 Automated Decision MakingAgreed. Rachel, you are home...it's OK. Comment by Jacob Courtade |

Sinister Celebtography Just chatting offline w/Ayman about this; I think we're in agreement that all flags should show on unpublished trends. MB, thoughts? Comment by Jacob Courtade |

Sinister Celebtography It will, as long as the flag was in the initial flag field (EditorFeedback). I don't know the history of this one, but the dup flag was on the secondary feedback field, so it won't show up on the left side of the trend, but will in the editor/feed views.
