my comment was flagged? hmm.

  Yes the "how cute" comment is still displayed to me as "[flagged]", as well as being completely grayed out.

    Oh this is nice. Simple points of order concerning HN operation are downvoted now? (Hint for drive-by downvoters: if you don't know what we're talking about, you probably have "showdead" set to "no".)

      >you probably have "showdead" set to "no".) I did but I can still see my comment as normal.
      • jessaustin 12y ago
        Open the page in an incognito tab, so HN won't know who you are. (or log out if you prefer) I expect that your original comment will no longer be visible. This appears to be similar to the hellban functionality, in that it's hiding from you the fact of flagging this one comment. Although I have no problem with the use of hellbanning, I don't see how the behavior we see here, with respect to a mildly sarcastic response to more strident sarcasm in TFA, could be considered a good thing. Hmm, maybe I'll write a Chrome extension to remove this misfeature.

          thats what it sounds like, whats kinda funny it had 3 points before getting flagged.
