Ash HN: new flag policy?
Is there a new flag policy on HN? I notice a lot of stories that, I believe, where common currency in the past, now being systematically flagged and deleted.
A lot of politics, or posts about society trends, or various surveys are now quickly removed.
- minimaxir 10y agoPolitics has always been a against the Guidelines as off-topic, with the recent political news testing that rule to its limits.
- DanielStraight 10y agoIndeed. And if you see something getting flagged off the site, it's generally because users don't want it here, not because it's getting removed from on high by the mods.
- dudul 10y agoThat's always been my understanding, but it was not uncommon to still run into them in the past quite often. I guess the guidelines are still the same but are now more strictly enforced.
