Hmm, depends on your interpretation, I always deem flagging a submission worthy of asking why it was posted even though I disagree with it's content being worthy of HN. I don't consider that to be complaining, it's a valid question.
I generally like to admit that I flagged the post for discretionary purposes during a conversation in the comments, but since you're being pedantic and four other users agree, it doesn't do me any harm to leave that bit out when I ask why an article is being posted on HN.
- bmelton 16y agoI can't imagine any other way to interpret "If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did." Please enlighten me?
- Ixiaus 16y agoNo enlightening needed, I already explained that "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site." was up for interpretation (I wasn't complaining in my comment, I was asking a question); and also admitted that "it doesn't do me any harm to leave that bit out" (in reference to stating that I flagged something).
