One thing that bothers me with the way submissions are killed in HN is that (i) it's not clear who killed them, how many kill votes it got (though this may be intentional); and what's more important (ii) the reason for the kill is not given, so that the submitted can understand why it happened.
The question closing mechanism in SO has both of these features. I had 1-2 questions closed there and immediately knew exactly why it happened, so I didn't repeat my mistakes.
