Out of curiosity, at what point am I allowed to start flagging people as trolls?
My comment was substantially more flamewar after the edit. Shame on me for that, but there were some fairly obvious troll comments there.
- dang 11y agoWhat do you mean by "flagging people as trolls"? HN doesn't let you flag accounts, only posts.
- cushychicken 11y agoPlease excuse my vagueness - I was referring to flagging posts.
- dang 11y agoYou can flag them now. The karma threshold is 30 and you're well over that. To flag a comment, you need to click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click the 'flag' link at the top. A couple of restrictions: (1) you can't flag direct replies, and (2) flag links disappear after 2 weeks, which is also when voting expires on a post.
