I assume you are replying to GP who said

Just for everyone else, I tried to look at the guidelines for flagging but I'd just like to point out that it is OK to flag something that you consider
> Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its 'flag' link. If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'flag' at the top. (Not all users see flag links; there's a small karma threshold.)
But here's the interesting part:
> If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
I didn't realize this was the meta. I've often seen people explaining their down votes but I have never seen anyone explain flagging. I guess down votes can still assume good faith but flagging usually does not?

Not that I ever flag but this was interesting reading. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
