I’m not going to highlight specific cases as it is not about calling out specific individuals, but right now curators can and do resolve flags on their own content which seems like it should not be permitted .

Are you including taxa in your request?

Yes I guess that needs to be an exception. More thinking about comments etc.

I think that a curator should be allowed to resolve any flag they created, whether on their content or not. But not flags other people made, which are on the curator’s content. Would that cover @bouteloua ’s concerns?

Yep, makes sense. And thanks, I had forgotten that flags could be deleted by their creators. Even after others have added comments?
