I've been on HackerNews for a little over 2 years, and in that time I don't believe I've ever flagged any submission. I guess I've always thought that the voting process would always take it's course.
Curious, if pg is reading this, how often does the flag link generate real actions on submissions?
- icebraining 15y agoI believe the flags are acted upon automatically if enough people flag the same item.
- Confusion 15y agoDefinitely: I've seen an article turn 'dead' the instant I flagged it. This was on the 'new' page, mind you.
- evilduck 15y agoGo through the new submissions instead of the front page. It gets a lot of spam.
