Ironically, they're probably flagging because they can't downvote stories. In some sense, yes. That is what flagging is for.

- ZenoArrow 11y agoThat's not what flagging is for. Flagging is to alert the mods that content needs to be removed, that is very different from downvoting because you dislike something.
- dhimes 11y agoIt should be removed. It is irrelevant. That's why I flagged it. The concept applies to more than just spam. It also applies to, for example, political pieces or celebrity gossip. In this case it was a simply incorrect and outdated article. I would expect that the author would be embarrassed to see it come up here (probably forgot about it). I don't particularly dislike the article, it just shouldn't have been posted.
