Hacker News Reader

Here’s the wired article the submission linked to: https://www.wired.com/story/why-wikipedia-decided-to-stop-ca...

I got the submission in my RSS reader (Feedly) which regularly shows me posts that end up getting flagged for removal. After seeing the linked article elsewhere, this seemed like an odd submission to remove.

View on HN

Someone users flagged it. Send an email to the mods hn@ycombinator.com They sometime unkill the post.

Click the time-stamp of the submission. You should have a [vouch] link. Vouch for the post. If enough people vouch for the submission it should unkill itself.

Could be mobile safari but I still don’t see a vouch button. :(

I have 4 karma, my guess is that HN admins restrict who can vouch, which would help stem the tide of spam.

I’m not spam. If this is working as designed, I’d like anyone calling the shots at HN (if they read this) to know that I am vouching in spirit and wish I could vouch in reality. :)

Update: I’m dumb, this comment explains what I’m too lazy to search for:

You need > 30 karma to vouch, same as to flag.
