HN does not have transparent moderation so you won't know unless you have root access to the server logs. This has always been the case with HN, the moderators have free reign and no accountability so you won't find out because the secrecy is part of the design.
- dang 4y agoHN moderators didn't flag those posts; users did. Quite correctly, given the mandate of the site. Moderators couldn't possibly enforce the rules on all those things—we only see a small portion of what gets posted here. Fortunately HN has a community of users who care about preserving the quality level of the site. Not that it's particularly high-quality, but it's at least possible to avoid the lower realms.
