Nope. Flagging is for comments that violate standards.
- jnbiche 13y agoYou flag a comment every time you think it breaks a community standard? Like, every silly "me, too" comment and one-line meme comment? If that's the case, I can almost guarantee you that your flags don't carry a lot of weight in HN's algorithmic ratings.
- gress 13y agoI do not. I am just pointing out that that's what they are for. Of course drivel comments are also likely to be downvoted heavily, but that doesn't mean that this is the only intent of downvotes. Do you know the rating algorithms?
