Out of curiosity, at what point am I allowed to start flagging people as trolls?

My comment was substantially more flamewar after the edit. Shame on me for that, but there were some fairly obvious troll comments there.

What do you mean by "flagging people as trolls"? HN doesn't let you flag accounts, only posts.

Please excuse my vagueness - I was referring to flagging posts.

You can flag them now. The karma threshold is 30 and you're well over that.

To flag a comment, you need to click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click the 'flag' link at the top. A couple of restrictions: (1) you can't flag direct replies, and (2) flag links disappear after 2 weeks, which is also when voting expires on a post.
