Sorry for butting in, but is there a way to flag comments? I'm being called a name in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43029816

The "flag" link, if enabled (not available for accounts with <500 karma) appears when you open a comment directly.

Otherwise, for this or any other request, email mods at hn@ycombinator.com. "@dang" is a no-op, and replies-to-comments are often overlooked: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39171237>.

FWIW, 500 karma is the threshold for downvoting, but I'm pretty sure the threshold for flagging is significantly lower, unless something has changed in the years since I was a new account.
Wups, you're right.

Flagging threshold is apparently > 30 karma, as is vouch:
