If I knew why something is [flagged] I could probably learn something from it.
I’m personally drawn to threads contentious enough to be flagged, but that have been vouched for by folks who have the vouch capability (mods and participants who haven’t had vouch capability suspended). Good signal imho.
Also what's a "vouch" capability?
Edit: answered my own question: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/m...
I guess you can't vouch flagged? And it seems like there's a profile setting to show dead items?

(to my knowledge, once a post has been sufficiently flagged without vouching, it is beyond a user's event horizon and only mods and users who had posted in the thread can see it)
