Ask HN: Why my question about Ian death was removed from Ask HN?

I suppose because it is a meta question where any discussion doesn't have any value.

We already know that many HNers are in favor of a black bar. It doesn't matter if there are hundreds or thousands.

Just ask hn@ycombinator.com. They are the only ones to decide on this, and they already know about that request.

What could a Ask HN thread possibly do?

Almost certainly community members flagging the question caused it to sink faster than it would with ordinary gravity.

I am talking about HN black bar and the HN mods , his last tweets are publicly known now.

What's this?
