Flagging on Strava

[LouisLipz]

Wouldn't it just piss you off if you opened your Strava profile and found that 3 of your ligitimate rides were flagged, all in the space of 5 minutes? Yes, I know that you can now just "unflag" them yourself, but some idiot was probably pissed off because I took his KOM and is now just flagging all my rides for no reason.

 

Strava cannot reveal the name of the flagger, so there is just nothing I can do about it.

 

Am I taking this too serious or would it also piss you off?

yes

My rides get flagged because people think I must have been running to go so slow

[fandacious]

yes

 

I disagree... if you've gone out an legitimately done KOM's then its just sour grapes if someone else flags your segments

[Meezo]

Does one get notified when your flagged?

[Bobbo_SA]

I don't do many races thus I use Strava to gauge my progress against a few people that I respect and trust so yeah, it would seriously cheese me off if I started getting flagged for no reason.

Strava - turning normal cyclists into drama queens since whenever they started Strava.

[LouisLipz]

Thanks, so I am not crazy. Around here (Stellenbosch) you have to really haul ass to get a KOM. If someone then just flags your ride it doesn't go down well.

[LouisLipz]

Yes, Strava sends you an email.

Why? does one have to return their medal and prize money?

Who goes out to purposely try and get a KOM, bit sad aint it.

[Hennie VR]

I cant help but think how Strava has promoted unsafe riding on roads.

 

If you look at some segments in town it is clear that you will need to jump robots/stop signs to keep a high enough avg to take KOM's

 

I think its a great way of staying motivated but I do think that people take it to seriously.

Apparently. Don't have any but it seems the thing to do is to target certain sections and ride them 10-20 times on a ride.

 

I use strava to check which of my tjommies have been doing secret training camps....sneaky russians

Why is being competitive sad? So you reckon all competitive sportsmen should get a life? Go tel Usain Bolt not to try so hard in the 100m dash - its just sad.

Chunks I know nothing about Strava, but then I am a pretend cyclist... what are these flags you speak of... chequered ones, red ones????

[avatar]

just delete the ride and upload it again happened to me too. dont think you are taking this too seriously, i mean you put in the effort so its your reward. And while you are at it, go flag some of the other guy's rides... muhuwahahaha
