- foobarbazqux 13y agoWhat are the disadvantages to complaining in the actual thread? I understand about making new submissions for the sake of complaining.
- vacri 13y agoBecause it always results in the same exchange of dialogue. If you don't think a post is appropriate, flag it. That does something that might result in action. All commenting does is consume space for nowt.
- davidw 13y agoCommenting also lets people know that a post - like this one - is inappropriate for the site.
- foobarbazqux 13y agoWell, that was my motivation. It's been on the front page for 6 hours now. Obviously the flagging system is broken for popular off-topic submissions. (We are all in agreement that this submission is flagrantly off-topic, right?)
- gverri 13y agoNo it's not. Don't you think it would be on-topic if this was happening in the USA? I remember very well all the coverage here about the occupy movement. So just because it doesn't affect your ass directly doesn't mean it is off-topic. Edit: Same thing as all the Turkey Riot threads. Did you comment against every one of them?
- davidw 13y ago> No it's not. Don't you think it would be on-topic if this was happening in the USA? No. It's about politics, and in the mainstream news.
