It looks like dang has previously had discussions with you regarding the way flagging works, and this could be a similar issue. Enough HN users flag something, and if a mod doesn't reverse the flagging it just stays flagged. The mods are usually busy fighting bots and spam, so don't take this personally.

It's not flagged now!

Anyway, flagging happens by users, not mods. To talk to the mods, use the Contact link at the bottom of the page.

Because there is a group of easily triggered users who guard new, and attempt to keep things "right."

This story is interesting, and has applicability to anyone running a company.

Other stories which run afoul of The Guardians of New might cover how US healthcare is an outlier, another interesting topic for US business owners.

Immigration curbs also often get flagged, even though they have large negative economic impacts.

But, hey.. I could be entirely wrong.
