Is there anything we can do to have it reviewed? I fully understand HN's opposition to politics, specifically US politics.
But I think this is a decent exception as it's a report directly from the justice department, not some BS opinion article that could be written by a high schooler.
- dragonwriter 8y agoOne could email the mods, but this seems to be a perfect example of the kind of thing that, while the discussion here might be good, is squarely within the “If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic” rule, so I wouldn't have a strong expectation of a positive response. OTOH, the mods definitely see the guidelines as just that, not rules, and might agree that this is worth protecting.
- obituary_latte 8y agoI wonder why some posts have "vouch" option, but this one doesn't. Seems like a good way to let the community disagree with flagged posts.
- nacs 8y agoI believe "vouch" is only for comments, not the HN post itself.
- obituary_latte 8y agoNo I think they are for posts too - I see it in new [1] at least...maybe it has to be [dead] for vouch? [1]https://imgur.com/a/b1HO9eo https://imgur.com/a/b1HO9eo
- nacs 8y agoThe mods are usually pretty quick to review these things even before anyone asks. Also even though I don't think there's a way to tag people on HN, if you mention @dang , he usually shows up pretty quickly.
- dredmorbius 8y agoI emailed the mods several hours ago. Respones are typically (though not always) within that timeframe. At this writing, the post itself remains flagged.
