Maybe it's time to make flagging public, Quora-style?

I don't think this is being flagged. I flag soap opera NSA stuff for instance, but wouldn't flag this.

It was at mid second page with 10 up votes after 35 minutes when I made this post originally.

There's another article from the Guardian on the NSA regarding Tor in the #6 slot on HN. This is in the #3 position.

I think you're overestimating the impact.

Edit: This article is now in the #1 position. Flagging isn't hurting these articles any.

1) It's currently first on the front page 2) Complaining about voting is really tedious to read about

Almost as tedious as reading complaints about complaining about voting :)
