I read the entire article and it does not correlate with the title here at all. Does clicking "Flag" flag this for what you say is just advertising?

- mquander 9y agoThere's a bit about flagging in the guidelines -- use your own judgment: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I'm not sure how flags are processed by moderators, but for automated ranking they are like a big downvote.
- grzm 9y agoThe guidelines also ask that we don't comment on flagging: just do it and move on. > "If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."
