Doesn't matter; that's like saying there's no point in calling the cops once the bank robbers are running off with the money.

The Mod's aren't going to nail it if they think it has favourable attention. They'll mistakenly believe it has favourable attention when no one is flagging it.

There's no point complaining, it's a violation of the guidelines. The article violates the guidelines, so why not flag instead of expose yourself to moderator attention yourself, it's stupid.



Just FYI, I have flagged it. Probably many others have flagged it as well. Either the mods haven't seen it yet or they disagree with the flagging.

Of course people should flag. But calling them noobs for not flagging when you have absolutely no idea if they have flagged is just dumb.
