Does the HN team have any plans to increase transparency on flagging. Maybe a way to view flagged stories and how many users are flagging them?

- yareally 10y agoI'm sure it's not your intention, but I read that question as "How can we make it easier for someone to game the system on hacker news?" Making it more transparent would probably not be a good thing.
- Kinnard 10y agoI'm surprised the value in transparency isn't obvious. I'll think more about how to convey my thoughts on it.
- dang 10y agoI doubt it. Anything that would lead to more meta litigation would be a disaster, and it's not clear what the gain would be. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13024781 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13024781 and marked it off-topic.
