Are you sure you are looking at the right place? To flag a comment you must click on "link", and only then the "flag" option appears. TFA mentions the threshold for flagging is only 30 karma.
This has been the source of much confusion and I'm not 100% sure on the reason why it was implemented.
- weaksauce 12y agoThere is a karma threshold (iirc, I know there is one for downvotes) to be able to flag and a link threshold that if you don't know where to find it, you won't use it. only the experienced HN people will 1. care enough to use it and 2. have the karma for(old members) it so it's a low pass filter of sorts against poor commenting.
