Tell HN: please help flag spam in New
The New queue is getting hammered. Currently, about 30-40% of submissions from the last 2 hours are spam. That's just what hasn't been deleted yet.
Please spend a few minutes each time you check HN to prune the New stack and flag any spam.
- llambda 15y agoGo through and flag the ones you see. The mods will catch on quickly.
- majika 15y agoNot really - this account has been submitting spam for 12 days: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=emily_hines http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=emily_hines
- danielhunt 15y agoThis may seem like a stupid question, but how do I even do that? I'm a long time reader, but only recently started posting, so the finer details like flagging and downvoting are beyond me right now :)
- majika 15y agoClick the "flag" link under the submission title. Edit: apologies, I just read on the guidelines that: "If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.)" I just upvoted to help you on your way :)
