I had no idea that was even an option, and I've been here for a few years now. I thought only threads could be flagged.
Is comment flagging hidden from the main page to prevent accidental clicks, or its use as a "super downvote"?
- dang 12y agoIt is an intentional speed-bump to cut down on reflexive flagging. Since the feature is non-obvious, I post descriptions like the above semi-regularly in the hope of getting the word out.
- mynameisvlad 12y ago+1, I also had no idea this was an option until you pointed it out, I'll make sure to use it in the future. It might be helpful to perhaps add it to the HN FAQ, or some other help page that has information on "hidden" features like this one.
