Just yesterday someone called me a "little shit" on here and I have absolutely no recourse.
- smartbit 5y agono worries, others took it upon them and now that message is dead
- timbit42 5y agoOnly because I complained here.
- detaro 5y agothat's what the flag button is for.
- timbit42 5y agoI can't flag comments.
- dang 5y agoYou can. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cflag https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cflag
- detaro 5y agoWhat is the current threshold for comment flagging? (I thought it was the same as for submissions, but a few weeks back another commenter already claimed it was higher: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29485995 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29485995 - and I can't really check myself)

- dang 5y agoYou (and pvg) are right. It's the same for comments and submissions. People with karma > 30 who think they can't flag comments are usually missing that there's an extra step to go through for comments (as explained in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cflag https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cflag).
