"this comment/post is broken"

Could we have a flag option called "this comment/post is broken"? For use in times of bad html or links that don't work.

good idea--i misformed a link in my post last night. (and of course forgot to test)

We already have one. It's called "other."

I've used it many a time, and jessamyn (or maybe mathowie) has always been able to figure out what was wrong. And if it's non-obvious, then a different kind of flag won't help either; you'll still need to e-mail.

And when people really mess up, they break the end of the post's HTML, therefore the [!] never appears. Poor little mite.

I still think this is a good idea.
