It was flagged too many times. I vouched for it...but it will probably be flagged again
Thanks
Users flagged it. That's the usual reason.
Thanks. Is user-flagging challenge-able?
Sure. We sometimes turn off flags when the article contains substantive information and there are decent odds that HN can have a substantive conversation about it. I don't think the odds are that good with this one.
You are right. Thanks
If it was flagged too many times, you would see [flagged]
It seem to be restored. I am guessing it’s flagged as it is controversial.
And it’s getting flagged again.
IT cell seem to have reached HN too. I've seen many legitimate stories getting flagged too many times
Not necessarily, it's a scale, and ranking is affected before the flagged status shows up.
