Why was the previous discussion flagged?

- pmontra 2y agoI asked that question myself for other submissions several times. It happens that I start to write a comment, post it and find that the submission was flagged and disappeared from the HN home page while I was writing. Sometimes they feel like absolutely innocuous submissions. I wish there is an unflag link, not the one to undo one owns flag requests (which happen due to fat fingers and tiny links.)

- a012 2y agoI may be out of the loop, but I don't understand the negativity towards Dropbox links, what makes it different than other submission of PDF files?
- moritonal 2y agoI guess for whatever reason this one was flagged? Seems enough people consider it not-relevant.
