Posts are auto-killed after a sufficient number of flags by users. (I think the default threshold in news.arc is 7 flags or so.) This spreads the work out amo

  Is that auto-kill per post, or on the entire account? I don't think there's anything keeping comment spam from happening other than the downmod/flag system already partially applied to posts.

    I've been reprimanded from on high for discussing how the ban system really works from the point of view of a banned person. I now understand the motivation for keeping this under wraps as much as possible, please take that in to consideration while discussing this.

  I'm not sure how many people know about the flag button. You have to click on 'discuss' or 'comments' to see it. Do you think it's a bad idea to put flag buttons next to each story on the stories pages? I worry it may lead to too many flaggings and so increase the risk of flagging genuine submissions.
