Tell HN: Please read /noobstories and flag posts

[cperciva]

I just flagged 10 obvious spam posts, spread over the past 8 hours. I realize that most of HN has been asleep for approximately these hours; but please join me in reading http://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories and flagging the spam.

PG: Please make this easier by putting [flag] links directly onto the noobstories page.

The European side of HN needs to earn some more karma in overall so we have a 'solid' 24/7 moderation on HN :)

Yes a quicker flag option would be immensely helpful.

Ok, will do. I'm also thinking of adding more types of flags: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1006589

Edit: There should now be flag links on noobstories.

It would be great if you allowed us other hacker news copy-cats to have rapid updates to your version of sources. Also many thanks for writing hacker news, it is a great, simple piece of software.

Thanks!

I see that some of the spam stories I saw earlier this Central Time Zone morning are now flagged to death. But it would still be good if the direct link to noobstories that you have kindly provided were configured to allow direct flagging of the stories, as is possible in noobcomments view.

While we're on the topic of adding features, I'd like to know why links aren't clickable in the main submission. Is there a specific reason? Seems like an inconvenience enough that a "clickable links" comment is nearly always voted to the top.

This would encourage editorializing on submissions
