And, what the fuck, I went up to the 800 newest submission without finding a single flagged but not yet dead submission???

- bediger4000 4mo agoClick on your user ID on this comment. Is the "showdead" pulldown set to "yes"? If it's not set to "yes" HN doesn't show you any "[dead]" submissions. I recommend setting "showdead" to "yes". You see the damndest things.
- g-b-r 4mo agoIt is, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write about dead submissions. It's flagged but not dead submissions that I can't find.
- brudgers 4mo agoIn my experience “[flagged]” does not appear until a submission is dead. But that’s just my experience.
- g-b-r 4mo agoNo, if they do get flagged [flagged] alone is shown, initially. And you can't vouch for them until they're dead, by the way, another nice detail (in the meanwhile they are removed from the front pages).
- altairprime 4mo agoI tend to report by email rather than flag when something is egregious, because a single user’s flag tends to have no effect, and /new is so incredibly prolific right now that the chances of enough users flagging something that it gets marked [flagged] rather than simply never reaching the front page at all is vanishingly small.
