Comments

If I flag a comment (or submission), does that immediately flag it for everyone, or must it reach some threshold of flags before that happens? I’ve always assumed the latter.

Nevertheless, flagging is a tool I make sure to use only if a comment is a personal attack against someone, or a story (in the New view) whose content doesn’t match its headline. For most other scenarios, either moving on and ignoring it or perhaps downvoting it is enough.
