HN red flagged edition: shows flagged comments and submissions

muzani 5y ago
The flagged comments list is actually useful. Not so much the comments themselves but the topics that spark such heated conversation.

Now added 'flagged comments' page. previously submitted here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29113079 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29113079 . (will not update this on a regular basis, if anyone wants to use it: https://github.com/MoserMichael/flagged-hn https://github.com/MoserMichael/flagged-hn)

Cool! Why did the Toaster submission get flagged I wonder? It would be interesting to modify this to revive [flagged][dead] discussions that had more than a couple posts and provide a place to continue the discussion.

  also don't know, why they flagged the tesla story. Moderation on HN is quite good, however sometimes it's not very clear (at least to me)

The "Ask HN" links are going to github(404), not to the post. Example for "Ask HN: How do you deal with your not-so-intelligent family/friends?": https://mosermichael.github.io/flagged-hn/item?id=29084330 https://mosermichael.github.io/flagged-hn/item?id=29084330 Great job though!

How are you excluding articles that were flagged as dupes? Some have a "[dupe]" tag, but others are just flagged by users.
- MichaelMoser123 5y ago
  Yes, only handling articles marked as [flagged] and [deleted]. I am not sure that handling [dupes] would add much. Recently we get a lot of stories that are flagged into oblivion, they had their title removed, I am ignoring these, as there is nothing left to show. like: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29125712 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29125712 Other entry ids: 29134197. 29134252 29134228 29133766 29131529 29131488 29131218 29129712 29123845 etc.

    > they had their title removed Not if you have "showdead" on. TIL there are different kinds of [flagged].

The "More" page leads to a github 404: https://mosermichael.github.io/flagged-hn/page_2.html https://mosermichael.github.io/flagged-hn/page_2.html

  thanks, fixed that - removed the 'next' link for the last page.
