If you see a comment you think is ridiculous click "link" and you should be able to flag them. I don't think HNers in general hate MS but this community is pretty biased towards OS X and Linux, it's hard to feign interest in stuff you don't use.
Engadget and The Verge are professional plagiarists, it would be bad for this community to adopt those sites as some kind of standard for tech news, and it's awesome seeing them fail over and over again to get a foothold here.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoI'm a technologist, and eat up everything related to OS X, Android, iOS, and so on. At home, I don't even own a PC (we have 4 macbooks, two ipads). But this Nokia tablet seems exciting, if only for the industrial design, but they also seem to have taken a lot of care in the rest of the design also. Theverge is quite nice: they actually write decent full length articles with a graphic design that is similar to but exceeds Ars. Engadget is still useful, but theverge is my favorite. And I was blown away recently by how well Polygon was done as a gaming site. Really beautiful, with great content.

This option isn't available to everyone - I, for one, don't have flagging privileges. I'd assume that this is probably a karma threshold, but it appears I actually have slightly more karma than you do, so they must be using some other metric.
- cjfont 13y agoSo when you click "link", you don't actually see the "flag" link at all? With my low karma it's appearing for me. FWIW, I've never flagged anyone before.
- chimeracoder 13y agoNope. I can downvote people, but I can't flag them. I don't remember ever having this privilege, on either comments or on stories.
