Where to find questions to vote on

The home Needs votes tab and the /needs-votes page list unverified Questions waiting for community votes, ordered by fewest votes first. When you're signed in, Questions you've already voted on are hidden so you can find new ones to weigh in on; guests see the full list. Voting can earn or cost Reputation when an arbiter settles the Question — see Reputation & leaderboard for earn amounts, streaks, and bonuses.

Voting mechanics

  • One vote per user per question
  • Click the active direction to remove your vote; click the opposite to flip it

Flagging

Users can file a Flag with a preset reason (and optional free text), and enough net downvotes also auto-flag a question at vote score ≤ −3. Flagging does not change the status badge — a verified answer can still be flagged. Flagged questions stay visible on community feeds (Recent, Trending, Needs votes) and show a quiet Under review mark on the question page.

Flagged questions appear in the arbiter review queue. Arbiters can dismiss, request a fix (Needs fix — flag upheld, answer stays live), or deprecate. See Answer statuses for reader context, or The review queue for how arbiters handle flagged items.
