I wonder if PG could filter spam-tagged items out of the new page. EDIT: wow, the new page also needs |flag| on the listing page. so much spam.

I think you can already do that by setting showdead to no. But the rate of spam has gone up so as something's tagged spam, another untagged spam gets posted.

  mine comes and goes for no apparent reason (I was without votes for about a month at one point). So I've given up flagging more than once a week and voting a more than a couple of times a day. Sadly all the older HN members I talked too say the same thing. I wonder if the site algorithm is actually favoring newer / less active members?

    I'd be fine with that, if it was disclosed.

I wonder if [HN spam filtering] could filter spam-tagged items out of the new page. It already happens, I'm quite sure. Every time I visit HN, I first visit the main page, and then visit the new page. I mostly only flag egregious spam. I see some of that disappear as I flag it. I also like using noobcomments view http://news.ycombinator.com/noobcomments http://news.ycombinator.com/noobcomments every once in a while to double-check for comments that plainly deserve flagging. It's too bad that noobstories view http://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories http://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories doesn't also allow convenient flagging. After edit: pg in the child comment below corrected me to point out that the noobstories view now does have flag links, and I can see them now as I follow the link.

  I added flag links on noobstories about a week ago.

    Thanks. My eye missed that just now as I posted the link, but there the flag links are.
