Okay, then I encourage everyone to flag every single paywall article posted. They are off-topic, because you cannot read them. The FAQ rule is ridiculous.

- saagarjha 7y agoTake it up with dang and sctb ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- detaro 7y agoDo remember that doing so will primarily lead to you loosing the ability to flag things for misusing the feature.
- Madmallard 7y agoHow is it misuse if the article is unreadable due to a paywall?
- detaro 7y agoHow is flagging a submission for something site rules and moderators explicitly say is acceptable on HN not misusing the flag feature, which is for things that are not acceptable?
- Madmallard 7y agoA pay-walled submission being acceptable on a news site when people likely do not spend a lengthy amount of time and likely do not want a hassle trying to consume information seems like a bad business decision.
