Really need that [flag bot] button added to HN.

It would be easier if we could just block comments from green users. I get that it loses ~.1% of authors who might have made an account to comment on a blogpost of theirs that was posted here. I'd rather have that loss than have to deal with the 99.9% of spam.

TIL green means new. I thought it was special for some reason.

Are you saying the parent comment seems like a bot?

Comment history is suspect.
