Why is this post flagged? And why is the vouch button unavailable?

  The mods are surprisingly responsive on this site, so I say this without a hint of sarcasm - try emailing them about it. I recently had a thread unflagged within an hour.

      I'm glad! Look at all this discussion.

        You saved it, I wouldn't have thought to without your comment.

  I think the vouch button is only available once the post is dead. (Same for comments.)

  It was flagged because users flagged it. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

    Thanks dang. Will this then possibly be flagged by some other user? What is the visibility of a flagged post? Hidden from front page and search, viewable from other users comments?
