HN Suggestion: Add flag link for comments to the comments page.

1 pointbluefish2 comments

I only see the option to flag comments after clicking reply on a comment. This was confusing to me when I first joined the community and was instructed by people to flag comments I found inappropriate. Maybe it's not present on the comments page because of my karma level, but it would be easier if the option to flag was presented next to each comment on the comments page.

In fact, you can flag comments regardless if you reply to it or not. Once you pass the karma threshold - I think it's 50 - then you can flag any comment.

If you want to flag a comment, you will find beside the comment headline: link Click on the link link , and you will be moved to another page that you can see the flag link.

I hope this is useful for you.

Thanks for the tip (no sarcasm intended). That's how I've been flagging the two or three comments I've found inappropriate but it wasn't clear to me at first. On the other hand I can see how keeping the flag link off the main comments page may be desired to prevent mass random flagging.
