People flag political stories, which makes sense for most political stories as the site guidelines explain. I've turned the flags off this one now. It's late for that, I know, but I was away over the weekend and didn't even hear about this story until I got back a few minutes ago.
Hey dang, could a confirmation dialogue be added to confirm flagging of a story? I unintentionally flag stories, but then go to flagged submissions to unflag them manually. This happens when I am on my phone.
If you're serious, write an email as he does read those (see his profile).
@dang does not work, there's no notification, "hey dang" equally doesn't work and there's no guarentee that every comment or even just the replies to dang comments will get read.
