I haven't noticed any change. It's easier to flag stuff, in the sense that flag links appear in more places. On the other hand, flags now have less weight than they used to. Can you tell me which specific stories you're talking about?
- pfedor 15y agoI believe this is one of the articles OP mentioned: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2528360 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2528360 According to one of the comments, it was killed several times.
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoTo be fair, though, there appears to be a group of people who are very enthusiastic about Bitcoin. It may not be part of a general trend of articles being flagged down unfairly.
- hasenj 15y agoThat story was really badly written. Full of "if you don't agree with me you're an idiot" kind of insults. The author even says at the end: > For the record, I'm stupid and trolling. That's why it was hard to tell. I can't tell if he said that as a sarcasm, though.
- pg 15y agoThat story has only one flag, so nothing would have pulled it down. It does however have one of the strangest voting patterns I've ever seen.
- waterlesscloud 15y agoHere's a killed submission of the same story. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2527746 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2527746
- pg 15y agoSure enough. In fact, there are several. They weren't autokilled. They must have been killed by editors. I will investigate.
- pg 15y agoI don't know if anyone will see this, but I finally figured out what went wrong. They were killed by a bug that was essentially causing flags to be counted double.
