I dont know why or how often articles on HN get flagged and then hidden/removed.
I do know that I personally was typing a comment on a climate change related thread and after posting, noticed the post had been flagged and removed.
Also.. another HN user commented that "political" articles on climate change are flagged, which they saw as a good thing.
.. I think by law of averages there should be more articles on climate change science / tech on HN.
I think the community is mature enough to disagree and discuss... and down-voting is a better way to remove low quality posts than flagging.
I would like to see stats on flagging.. and maybe a word cloud or sentiment analysis on what posts are flagged .. a public registry of flagged articles and reason for flagging would be ideal.
