    i have just been hub hopping and have rated a couple of hubs down because the english was so bad. Then it occurred to me that perhaps that wasn't what the flag down was supposed to be used for. Is it???

      Yes,that's fine.  All a flag does is put the Hub in a queue to be looked at by a member of HubPages staff, and they'll decide whether it needs any action.

    I believe one of the choices has to do with hubs having a lot of grammatical, spelling errors.

    But that would be the 'flag' button, not the down arrow button.

    So I should have flagged it rather than voted them down? Sorry if I wasn't clear.

      Yes, that's right.  The voting buttons do virtually nothing.

    Marisa is correct - the vote down button doesn't alert mods there are problems. And poor grammar, spelling and punctuation are definitely reasons to flag. When you flag, there are reasons you select & you can also post a sample of text and mention specifics.  Please, please, let them know about that type of quality issue.

        Good question - I have voted down heaps for grammar issues - now i realise I have effectively wasted my time.  Now I know.  Thanks for asking the question.
