UI suboptimality: the dotted markers should be deaths -- something additional happened -- rather than the dotless markers meaning deaths.

Can people please stop submitting about this. It's not interesting, it's not relevant and it's all hype and drama so news companies get higher ratings.

It'd be nice to see how many flags the article has had. At least then we know if it's had 100 flags and the admins have just ignored them, or if no one else has flagged.

Some sort of transparency into how articles like this stay around so long might improve things.
