Ask HN: I Accidentally Flagged a Post
How can I undo? Please help.
- eimrine 5y agoWith great power comes great responsible. I have got that flag button recently but have not used it even once because I do not sure I have a decent understanding of the instrument.
- unobatbayar 5y agoWhy or when do we get this button?
- mtmail 5y agoWhen: after a user has 31 karms. Why: to mark submissions or comments as "doesn't belong here", like a very strong downvote. Too many flags from users and a submission get removed and shows as [flagged][dead] in the title.
- eimrine 5y agoSo, any active user might have very strong downvote, but who can have not strong downvote? Like when my comments have zero or negative value.
- melling 5y agoClick unflag? The flag word turns to unflag
- unobatbayar 5y agoIt turns out I've hit the hide button instead and the post disappeared; Panicked thinking I removed it by flagging.
