- mikeyur 17y agoScribd got a bunch of people to flag it? (conspiracy theory) Original article link: http://mayank.name/2009/06/20/want-to-download-a-file-from-scribd-upload-one/ http://mayank.name/2009/06/20/want-to-download-a-file-from-s...
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoPretty sure that all the YC alumni have the power to kill a story, so no need to get people to flag it. Could be wrong on that, though. Feature suggestion to PG: show who killed stories / comments and why (manual or due to multiple flags).
- mikeyur 17y agoI like that idea. There is a bit of gaming/favoritism here (obviously) - seeing who killed it and why would shed some light on this (and/or make people think twice about killing a story just because they don't agree with it - there are comments for a reason).
- ankhmoop 17y agoI hope it's not due to the negative tone of the article and comments, coupled with scribd being a YC company -- I believe flags are administrator-reviewed.
