Off topic: Is there somewhere that explains why this article was flagged?
In the few minutes it took me to scan down the front page to the time I clicked on this story the link was flagged. I'm interested to know which specific guidelines were violated.
- jacobwg 5y agoFlags come from users submitting them (after a certain level of karma you can flag posts). There won’t be a canonical “why” since it’s essentially whatever the community considers flag-worthy.
- bradlys 5y agoYou can flag for any reason. If you don’t want to have this topic even be discussed - you can flag it. I think that’s a common reason why people do it. It’s about the only kind of “downvote” you get as far as stories go.
