I've seen it and only flagged posts with [comments by the same author with links to] malicious content. It doesn't matter whether user is affiliated with this content's host or phishing campaign since this is most of his HN activity. This should stop even if is unintentional.
- pvg 5y agoIf you think someone's doing something wrong, email the mods. You can't be starting some innuendo campaign and vote brigading against some user just because you have a bad feeling about their posts, that's in the guidelines.
- hericium 5y agoI've flagged malicious content and don't consider this brigading. When I saw that this isn't a problem with a single account, I made a Tell HN[1] 20 minutes ago to tell both mods and the community to exercise caution.

- pvg 5y agoAgain, if you think someone is doing something wrong, do what the guidelines tell you and email the mods. Same goes for voting stuff. Tell HN doesn't tell the mods anything, they don't see every post and comment.
