Some sincerely-intended, friendly advice...

Whilst I understand it's possible that you may have contributed more to HN under a different username, your complaint would be taken vastly more seriously if it came from an account that had a solid history of posting quality articles and comments of the kind of which you've said you'd like to see more.

This community is only as good as people make it through their article submissions and comments, and it's up to all of us to do our part.

And as others have pointed out, the flag link is there for stuff you don't think belongs here.
