I can't speak for anyone else, but when on the rare occasion I do flag something, it isn't just to enforce site guidelines but also to keep HN's submission and discussion quality up.
This is an article about Reddit drama and there have already been a number of recent submissions about that. There are only 30 positions on the front page and Reddit drama doesn't deserve one of them.
I don't think it's just "reddit drama" especially since reddit is a YC company and Sam Altman is on the board. Some of the revelations give some really interesting insight in how, what is considered a wildly successful web-startup, is (mis)-managed and some of the back-room dealings happen in the supposedly "meritocratic" valley.
