Wow! I did cause them to change: now they flag stories, but they also delete the title from the story, like here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29134228 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29134228 . Now you only see [flagged] in the title. That makes my little exercise here much less useful. That's also a lesson: crawlers can be made ineffective by slight changes in the input. At least i had some fun at making this little exercise...
