Who wants to discuss the suppression of content on HN? 163 pts in 37 mins, but flagged off the front page as soon as it appeared. Does the number of flags required to trip the [flagged] trigger increase with the number of points and speed of those points on a story? If not, why not? Yes one could say rapid point accrual on a story of this nature is telling of a hot-button issue that and thus likely to create discussion not up to our desired standards. But what I think is really being shown here is that this is an issue many feel is in much need of attention and the fact that a small group can just flag these so quickly when the rest of the community is saying this is important seems strange.
