Hacker News Reader

Why are all posts regarding the google memo getting flagged? This kind of censorship is getting annoying.

This isn't censorship, this is HN readers saying they're not so interested in the memo that they need to have another post about it every hour.

There is a difference between flagging and not upvoting.

If it is upvoted enough to reach first page then it means there are HN readers who are interested.

Users flag stories they think shouldn't be on Hacker News. It may be because there's a zillion stories and opinions already and a particular one doesn't contain significant new information, or because a particular discussion is mostly uncivil, divisive, and damaging to the community.

We've turned the flags off on this one and ask that users please take care to post civilly and substantively.

Thanks!

I've learned a lot from HN, even changed my views on at least one big issues (legalizatiin of certain drugs) thanks to what I read here.

That happened because 1. reasonable discussion where allowed and 2. I read both sides and decided the other side where right.

It wouldn't have happened if every discussion about it had been flagged off the site.

yes how do we get admins to allow discussion on damores peterson interview.

He deserves a chance to speak without others twisting his words.
