Why are all the posts relating to Adria Richards getting deleted?

Comments about them getting deleted seem to be getting deleted as well.

They probably got flagged a lot and autokilled.

I think once a post passes 10 upvotes, flags are no longer relevant. My guess would be that the posts are gaining upvotes fast enough (15+ upvotes a minute) that HN's anti-spam triggers are going off.

Possibly true, but that would mean the flag system can be abused to get rid of any articles you don't like. If this is the case that should definitely be looked into.

If it's human intervention then I really don't understand why it's happening: It's quite clear a lot of people want to discuss those messages on the social media accounts of sendgrid.

I was wondering the same thing...

I've seen a couple posts get deleted (or bumped or something, not sure) from HN recently.

e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5416422

edit: oh, now this one is [dead] too. huh.

Good question! I guess it's not worthy of discussion now that two people have been fired from meddling internet fools.

Wasn't it 3 people? The two guys and Adria?
