Man what did these guys say!
- jolmg 5y agoYou can go to your profile and enable the "showdead" option to see the comments.
- edoceo 5y agoNot worth it. It's just trolls
- jolmg 5y agoSome people like to be able to determine that for themselves and possibly vouch when they think a comment was wrongfully flagged. I'm just informing of the feature.
- CornCobs 5y agoIndeed I was not aware of that feature. Thanks!
- wizzwizz4 5y agoI've vouched for ~1% of the comments I've seen. Totally not worth it. (But, then again, I have the feature turned on.)
- edoceo 5y agoI get you. I was saying that reading those specific comments was not worth turning the feature on.
- jolmg 5y agoI know. I agree that the "these people should die" comment should be flagged, but I vouched for the "Rob Pike is my idol and I think syntax highlighting is overrated" comment. It may deserve a downvote, but I think flagging is excessive. Even the lamontcg's "you outdid the other commenter" comment was flagged instead of downvoted. I vouched for that, too. I think people are too trigger-happy on the "flag" link. Flagging is generally done for spam and wholly inappropriate content like porn or wishing death, and I can't see either of the comments I vouched as being that.
- lamontcg 5y agoI mean I technically called the guy I was responding to an asshole which is a personal attack, which should get flagged per the rules on this site. But the "hurr durr old dumb programmer get corona and die" was bad enough I felt that was a measured response.
- jolmg 5y agoI must be so used to hearing such words that it didn't even register as a personal attack. I guess you're right.
