This isn't censorship, this is HN readers saying they're not so interested in the memo that they need to have another post about it every hour.

- noncoml 9y agoThere is a difference between flagging and not upvoting. If it is upvoted enough to reach first page then it means there are HN readers who are interested.
- sctb 9y agoUsers flag stories they think shouldn't be on Hacker News. It may be because there's a zillion stories and opinions already and a particular one doesn't contain significant new information, or because a particular discussion is mostly uncivil, divisive, and damaging to the community. We've turned the flags off on this one and ask that users please take care to post civilly and substantively.
- reitanqild 9y agoThanks! I've learned a lot from HN, even changed my views on at least one big issues (legalizatiin of certain drugs) thanks to what I read here. That happened because 1. reasonable discussion where allowed and 2. I read both sides and decided the other side where right. It wouldn't have happened if every discussion about it had been flagged off the site.
