- piva00 6y agoNo, the flagging works well for unsupported opinions (usually with quite bad discourse included) being pushed, if you feel you were flagged wrongly you can always go check with the mod team and explain why you believe your behaviour shouldn't have been flagged. I believe that HN is one of the most open forums for dissenting opinions when those opinions are well-presented and substantiated.
