- Spare_account 7y agoAs per HN comment guidelines, it's best not to reply to comments like this and just flag them. The admins are usually quick to respond. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead.
- matt4077 7y agoFWIW in this case I appreciate the rather appropriate reply. If such comments simply disappear, it sometimes feels like all that protects HN are the two or three Moderators doing their duty. I feel more reassured by knowing the wider community will not tolerate such behavior. And it also sends a stronger message, one where these people can not delude themselves into thinking they are representative of us, and/or “speaking truth to power”.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoBetter for a troll to see their post casually ignored than to receive exactly what they want.
- markmm 7y agoTrue, replying just gives the attention they seek
