AdvancedFlagging started as a set of modular typescript tools to aid with StackExchange UserScripts. It has support for:
- Smokey / MetaSmoke
- Natty / Sentinel
- GenericBot
- Guttenberg / CopyPastor
- Chat
- Stack Exchange API
- Cross domain caching
This code uses different bits and pieces from the following sources:

Currently, only TamperMonkey is officially supported
AdvancedFlagging adds icons from Smokey, Natty and Guttenberg to posts which have been reported. In addition, flags made through the AdvancedFlagging interface are reported to Natty, Smokey, Guttenberg and GenericBot if required.
The interface looks like this:
'Leave Comment' is ticked by default if there are no comments beneath the post to avoid comment spam.
'Flag' is always ticked by default. Unticking this box will not post a flag to StackExchange when an action is taken. Feedback to all sources will, however, still be sent.
'Looks Fine' reports a false positive to both Smokey, Natty and Guttenberg if they reported the post. 'Needs editing' reports to Natty if it was reported, and false positive to Smokey.
These options add an additional icon to the post:
To indicate that the feedback was sent. All feedback sent provides a banner notification (see above) to confirm it was successfully sent.
Posts reported by each source will have an icon appended to the post. For example, here, Natty reported a post, and we've flagged it.
When Guttenberg has detected a post, two additional options appear in the dropdown:
Either of these links ('Plagiarism' or 'Duplicate answer') will send true positive feedback for all reports detected for this post. This is likely going to change in the future, but for simplicitly, this is how it'll work at the moment. These links will raise the following custom flags:
- Plagiarism
Possible plagiarism of another answer [first linked question], as can be seen here [first Guttenberg report]
No comment will be left for the OP
- Duplicate answer
The answer is a repost of their other answer [first linked question], but as there are slight differences as seen here [first Guttenberg report], an auto flag wouldn't be raised.
The following comment will also be left:
Please don't add the same answer to multiple questions. Answer the best one and flag the rest as duplicates, once you earn enough reputation. If it is not a duplicate, [edit] the answer and tailor the post to the question.
'Looks fine', 'Needs editing', 'Vandalism' and any NAA response will register as a false positive to Guttenberg.
AdvancedFlagging has a link to its configuration panel found at the bottom of StackExchange pages:
Clicking it opens the following modal box:
Manual flags will be watched, and feedback will be sent (where applicable).
Responses in the Low Quality Posts queue will be watched, and feedback will be sent (where applicable)
Display a banner when audits are detected in queues.
Here, you can choose which flag options are present in the dropdown. This allows us to create far more options for flagging, without cluttering up the page for users who aren't interested in using them.
