"Your comment brakes the rules, the article is within their bounds."

I assume you meant "breaks". You are completely right. Here is the guideline I violated.

"Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or egregiously offtopic, you can flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did. "

While I am not sure, if this guideline is a good one, using a forum such as this implies acceptance of the rules. I was ignorant of this guideline, but the fact remains that I have violated this guideline twice. Once by mentioning the inappropriateness of a submission and then my mentioning I flagged it.

Apologies to everyone. I'll be more careful in the future.




Would be kind of nice if the "flag" link went to "approved" after a moderator deemed it worthy. That way we wouldn't keep flagging it after we know the mods had already reviewed it for worthiness.
