Ah, I didn't realize that you could flag comments as well as stories. I typically resorted to downvoting because of this.

- cimmanom 8y agoI didn't either. I'm sort of surprised that the flag link isn't more visible.
- gus_massa 8y agoI think it's a trick to discourage flagging of normal comments. You must waste a few additional seconds to flag a comment, so you do it only when the comment is too bad.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoI don't think they want it used nearly as frequently as people downvote, as it obviously adds manual moderation burden. The extra click requirement avoids people rolling down their comment feed flagging everything. Downvotes are more than adequate for most low quality comments. Please use with care. Keep your HN mods happy. :)
