1. Do flag

2. Don't comment

3. Go to http://news.ycombinator.com/newest and upvote the stories that you do think are appropriate to HN

I propose you personally hit the button labeled "flag" in future.

How much karma do I need for that privilege?

200 at present

I don't have 200 karma, but I can see and click the 'flag' link

The problem I have with this link is that I gain no insight from it.

Interesting. I think I like the idea of having different sites with different granularities. HN could be a site that occasionally has a post saying, "Hey, there now exists a subreddit for this," and Reddit could have articles saying, "OMG, pg just tweeted about a sandwich!" And since news.rc is so easy to run, it should be easy to throw another news server (wow, remember when that phrase meant something else?) up there (except for the OpenId integration, that is) for each internal node in the LOD structure of sites.
