You haven't addressed publicizing who flagged a post. For instance, who flagged the first post on Bob Lee's death? How long was it kept flagged? Who removed the flag?
How would one know if flagging wasn't abused? I've had comments flagged that get unflagged a day later. Were there any consequences for the person who flagged the post?
- dang 3y agoSorry I missed that point. We wouldn't publicize flags any more than what people upvoted or downvoted. That data is quite personal.
- 2718i314 3y agoSo trust you that it doesn't get abused? Nope.
- dang 3y agoI don't think I said anything about trust? No doubt it does get abused. We do what we can to counteract that.
- roflyear 3y agoTrust is important in a community. Which this isn't!
- dang 3y agoI disagree. It is a community, we want it to be a community, and we work hard to make it more of a community.
- roflyear 3y agoThere's a fear here of the "community" on the part of you and HN. You may not realize it, but you treat it at least somewhat in an adversarial way. That cannot ever be a healthy community. Part of the issue is HN is too broad. Whatever goes here, really. Communities that work are focused on specific things.
