Tell HN: please help flag spam in New
4 comments
This may seem like a stupid question, but how do I even do that?
I'm a long time reader, but only recently started posting, so the finer details like flagging and downvoting are beyond me right now :)

Click the "flag" link under the submission title.
Edit: apologies, I just read on the guidelines that:
"If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.)"
I just upvoted to help you on your way :)

Go through and flag the ones you see. The mods will catch on quickly.
