Ask HN: Did 'Best' keyword in title trigger a flag on my post?
I worked really hard in this job board. I am guessing it was triggered by the word ‘Best’ in the title which I’ve updated. Wondering if there’s a way to unflag?

- gus_massa 6y agoProbably some users flagged it. (I'm not sure why. Are you scraping the job list? You posted it yesterday, but a few reposts are ok here. I don't see an obvious reason.) Try to write to the mods hn@ycombinator.com It's live for now. Try writing a comment explaining you made it and be prepare to answer questions if they appear.
- troydavis 6y agoIt may be that HN requires submissions use the actual page title, not a title chosen to make the submission stand out. Here’s a longer explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html You might resubmit it with the page’s actual title.
- uberman 6y agoPerhaps it should have been tagged as "show" rather than presented as a news item. Is you thing a "bot" or a "job board". Your website seems to be both. If the jobs are simply scraped from some other site, what value are you adding?
