- dang 9y agoBefore putting out a volley of "what the heck", "something smells foul", etc., posts, it might be good to familiarize yourself with how HN works. Users flag stories all the time. This is a community action. It's completely routine. So is moderators marking stories as duplicate when they've already had significant attention on HN. The (non-)controversy here boils down to (a) users disagree about what belongs on HN, and (b) not every user sees every thread. Those are structural issues in the sense that they follow inevitably from the structure of the site.
