Correction: HN mods often flag posts down. Almost on a very regular basis. They do this for the larger good.

  As far as I know that's not mods, that's regular users. minimaxir is talking about the small repost-bump that some posts get.
• minimaxir 11y ago
  No, those are mostly by users. And in the case where an article is falsely flagged to death, the new vouch system corrects that.

    I thought the "vouch" system only applied to dead things. Is that not correct?
    • detaro 11y ago
      You can only vouch once something has become flagged, but then it works against the flags. (and if only a few users have flagged a post, it is likely to become unflagged by that)

      Works for both dead and flagged.
