The problem with linking censorship with truthfulness is that you can effectively label something untrue to censor it. It's similar to linking intelligence with voting rights - just label some group as not-intelligent to exclude them. I do agree some ideas should not be spread eagerly. My bad, I thought downvotes would autoflag, but apparently some people will downvote and flag as well, which leads to the effect. But flagging is effectively deletion and thus censorship. There are vouch buttons, but I do not find them effective - the window is too narrow. Bad submissions should be made invisible, that's fine, the site is about boring news. But I think flags get abused on comments a lot.
