What does "[flagged] [bot thread]" mean? The submitter keepamovin seems to be a legitimate user with plenty of valid submissions (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=keepamovin https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=keepamovin) (and more reputation than I have!).
- dang 2y agoThe [flagged] bit comes from users having flagged the post. The "[bot thread]" bit came from the submitted title, which was "[bot thread] A cafe worker: the question customers ask showing disrespect". I've taken that out now.
- JadeNB 2y agoThanks! I understood the meaning of [flagged] (sorry, that was definitely unclear from my question). What surprised me was that [bot thread] wasn't in the original submission, so I thought that it had been added automatically.
