@AndreaLazzarotto There should be delete(<NUMBER>) button next to flag() button. I am not sure at which rep level the deletion privilege for answers appears, though. For questions it's at 20k, but I didn't find anything on answers in help center

| Dec 7, 2017 at 8:33 | comment | added | Andrea Lazzarotto | Yes, that's why I wrote "random websites". :) I don't know if I have any power over deletion. Should I flag it? | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 0:26 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | BTW, there's enough downvotes now to delete the answer, so if anyone wants to participate - you're welcome to do so | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 0:23 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | @AndreaLazzarotto Well, main reason here is because it's a random website. I wouldn't bother much if it was something trusted, like github - source code there can be verified, at least. | |

Good catch! Whether it's malicious or not, it doesn't matter. Telling users to wget stuff from random websites is like telling them it's OK to drive while drink because they could not get injured.

| Dec 4, 2017 at 9:42 | comment | added | Videonauth | Well you only could verify by analyzing the download, but well the wget line gives me a 403, so it is a dead link :) | |
