Irrespective of how many sides there are to the original story, why is the parent comment flagged? He did YC, but he's not in the directory - those two statements are true, no?
- tptacek 4y agoHe can't tell you. Users flag things, not admins.
- nmfisher 4y agoAdmins can’t unflag?
- dang 4y agoI can't tell you why users flagged it, and we don't often unflag things that users have flagged. But if you want a reason: the comment wasn't just saying a couple of true things neutrally; it was baiting a drama that has already played out repetitively quite a few times, and is not possible to discuss publicly.
- sillysaurusx 4y ago(Admins flag too; it’s their duty. We wouldn’t want to be here if users were the only ones doing the flagging, for a bunch of reasons. Suffice to say, the HN team does a fantastic job.)
