Ask HN: Why my Ask HN is gone?
I made a Ask HN post, that got 7 points and about 10 replies in 20 minutes and then poof, it was gone from the "ask" list.
Why?
I think it maybe has to do with flagging, so I throw a second question: how flagging actually work?
- meric 14y agoI think you got flagged for "humblebragging".
- tverlinden 14y agoIt's still on the list, at #363 as of this posting. It can also still be reached here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5160680 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5160680 As to why it's so low on the list, I'm not sure.

- xijuan 14y agoI feel that the Ask section has been changed recently. Sometimes a very very old post will suddenly be on the front Ask page. Sometimes, an Ask post never gets to the Ask section and this happened to me once. There was one day when I couldn't comment on many of the Ask posts. I was going to ask a similar question as yours.
- xijuan 14y agoI can no longer find this post now on the front "Ask" page..It is so weird.
