I haven't felt the need to downvote a post since PG stripped us of our ability to do so, but this is unmitigated crap. A poor attempt at satire in service to some large corp is not something that should grace the front page, and the resulting conversation helps no one. It's blog spam in a different form.
- Lewton 14y agoThat's what the flag function is for
- hisyam 14y agoI don't see a flag button. Is this a feature that's only available after reaching a certain amount of points?
- jamesbritt 14y agoI used to see it, then one day it vanished.
- Lewton 14y agohisyam: Yes, it's something you get after getting 20 points or something like that jamesbritt: I've heard of people losing their flag priviliges because of 'abuse' whatever that is
- jamesbritt 14y agoI suspect I flagged too many posts that ended up as popular so now I cannot flag anymore. If so then there's a serious flaw in that kind of strategy since it erodes counter-balances.
- redthrowaway 14y agoI don't know that it's necessarily flagable, unless we extend the definition to "everything deserving of a downvote". If we do that, we've simply offloaded post moderation from the users to the mods.
- reledi 14y agoI'm glad this made it to the front page, otherwise I wouldn't have read all the interesting debates in the comments.
