Over half this person's comments (the Josh-pdap person I mean) have been flagged.

Not sure if this is some false positive on anti-spam (new account, lots of comments in a short time on a single story) or if it's someone with a vendetta. @dang this is a little weird...

(I know, this site doesn't have magic @, but also i think the site moderator probably has scripts searching for mentions/summons anyway. I would anyway...)

The comments weren't flagged. HN's software has other kinds of filters too, and comments by brand new accounts are treated a little more skeptically. Fortunately users had vouched* for all but two of josh-pdap's comments by the time I saw them. I restored the other two and marked the account legit.
