- newsomix9xl 2mo agoI'm not interested in promoting or exploring juicy discussions. I'm just interested in some transparency: when I select "flag" I want to say why: a) this isn't a tech story b) this story is just self-serving advertising c) this story appears to have gamed itself to the front page d) this story is just a sign up page (I consider that misleading). e) the story doesn't match the headline, etc. If I see a story flagged, I'd like to know why (headline doesn't match, self-promotion, etc).
