No.
Red flags make you worry about a game.
Black flags make you drop it instantly. No need to know more, I'm already out, thank you.

Red flags are warnings. They signal that the game might be something you don't like, but you're not sure yet.

The black flag in naval terms means "surrender and give me your shit". In racing terms it means you've been a naughty boy or your cars fucked go to the pit stop. I don't see how either of those are as appropriate as a red flag.

I think we need to establish what a blue flag is first before that. So according to OP's autism it's:

Green flag: Positive sign
Red flag: Negative sign
Black flag: Instant no nonsense drop it

Would a blue flag be something that calms you down? Or maybe relate it to "bluepills" and have it be a negative thing that you've learned to just give up and accept?

Multiplayer-only focus on a series or franchise that has always been singleplayer first and foremost even when it had co-op and PvP (guess which game I didn't buy this year for that reason)
A few genres I simply don't like (I don't think they're bad, simply aren't my thing): some would be sports, racing, puzzle, fighting, MMORPGs, WRPGs
The new game belongs to a franchise / series I tried and disliked or it's a spiritual successor to said franchise / series
The new game is a revival of a classic game / franchise / series made by a newcomer developer without games under their belt or by a developer with a reputation for making shovelware.

There are more but those are the ones at the top of my head.

By OPs logic I'd say:
>multiplayer only
>gacha
game that are part of genres I'm not interested are also blackflaged but those are too many to bother listing

I think blackflagging should mean that you'll play the game if you can pirate it, but not otherwise, because you don't want to financially support the studio.
Though I can't say I have anything in particular in mind for this.

Yellow flag: a piece of information you're unsure of.
>our game has a character creator!!!
Okay... but what if the options are all pozzed? Don't know that yet. That's a yeller.

Blue flag: a piece of information that reassures you in indirect ways. It's positive, but not like the green one where you actively want it. This time it just tells you the devs know what they're doing.

Example of a green flag:
>no faggotry in our game
That's a requirement for me, so it's a green flag.

Example of a blue flag:
>veteran of the industry is in the dev team
I don't need that for me to be interested in a game, but that's cool to know.

So would a purple flag be negative reassurance, but not an outright red as of yet? Like for example some people might be wary but not outright peeved if a game is made in China.
