Why was this flagged?
- drawkward 2y ago[flagged]
- hamburga 2y agoWTF. Do they usually give a reason for flagging?
- epakai 2y agoFlagging is mostly done by users (who have enough karma). It is just toggle (no reason entry form), and I believe it is the same for the moderator version. The reasoning generally should be non-adherence to https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html but that's not particularly enforceable. This is balanced by the vouching system, as well as moderator unflagging. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#flag https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#flag
- throw16180339 2y agoMost stories about Musk are flagged regardless of the topic. He might be using bots, he's certainly petty enough to do so.
- rsynnott 2y agoMusk stuff tends to be; his horde of weird sycophants is alive and well.
- indoordin0saur 2y agoPurely political posts are against the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- yodsanklai 2y agoBecause enough users flag it. I usually flag anything related to the US political circus.
