Shut up and let the harrasser be, right?
- dang 7y agoPlease don't break the site guidelines by replying to egregious comments, a.k.a. feeding trolls. Instead, flag the comment by clicking on the timestamp to go to its page, then clicking 'flag' at the top. Flags bring comments to moderator attention, and often kill the comment as well. In egregious cases, you can let us know at hn@ycombinator.com so we can act on it sooner. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- ThrowawayR2 7y ago> * Flags bring comments to moderator attention, ...* Is that what they do? The FAQ and guidelines don't explain flags or the circumstances under which they should be used very well. I always was under the impression that flags only did the "kill the comment" part of what you said and others may be as well.
