I used to be able to "flag" posts on HN, but a few weeks ago that right appears to have been revoked. No idea what I may have done wrong; perhaps I'm a "troll" and I don't know it?
- seiji 15y agoSame thing happened to my account a few months ago. I recall having a few bad days where I was, perhaps, overzealous in flagging what I considered inane or wrong or groupthink or low quality self-promotional drivel. Having your features pared down is a fine line between "we're doing this for your own good to save you from yourself" and "we think your input is less valuable than everybody else here."
- burgerbrain 15y agoI flagged every single steve jobs article the day after his death... which happened to be every article.... My ability to flag articles has since been revoked. To be honest, it felt good. Made me feel like I had been heard. Shot down, sure, but still heard.
- adnam 15y agoActually, I think this is exactly what happened to me!
