Maybe it's time one of these threads wasn't flagged/shadow-flagged.

Try to find this thread on the front pages of HN... It's not there, at least in the first 150 results. It seems to have been unflagged, then "shadow flagged". Which is even more fucked up. Your first two links are the same bt

>The only unusual thing in this case is the drama you've created about it. I haven't created any drama at all. Many people feel strongly about this and have said so, are they all "creating drama" as well, or is it pos

Thank you for your support. I also believe this is a terribly important topic to discuss, with special relevance for the HN community (not that I need to prove that, the number of comments speaks for itself). I have emailed the mods, and wi

I don't have an issue with flagging dumb stories. I have an issue with flagging active and important stories, hiding upvoted comments, silently de-ranking stories without any notification, etc. Straw-man all you like, there's no j

Update, 52 mins in: This thread is not appearing anywhere on the front pages. With 31 points and 18 comments in less than hour. What the Fuck?

The CIA employ what percentage of the tech community again? Maybe this shouldn't be considered an entirely political story, given the ramifications it has for all of us.

There were plenty of active commenters, most of them considering this a very serious issue. And no one has been able to offer any explanation why my comment is permanently collapsed even when opened on a different browser, despite no obviou

Oh look it's happening again. The people who think this article might not be "drivel" are being grayed within minutes. And by the way, this censorship happens on tech stories too. This article from three months ago wasn'

"These type of posts"... Posts on incredibly important topics with incredibly active discussion? I haven't seen one flagged and treated like this since 3 months ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=157453

Ask HN: We're being censored. Why?

My point was that if you were expecting the GOP to end torture you're a fucking moron. Obama, on the other hand, was full of fiery speeches during his campaign about ending torture. What are you, implying I don't care that crazy p

Update: My comment is compressed even when opened in a brand new browser, and this thread no longer shows up on the News pages at all, at least the first seven pages. If I'm not mistaken, there has been no reason for this given whatsoe

My other comment on this page got 11 points in 6 minutes. But since then, every time I refresh the page my comment shows up as 'compressed' (as if it had been flagged), and it has been been on 11 points every time I've checke

I'm sick of hearing that I have the politicians I deserve - the amount of money spent by special interests to warp the minds of citizens is at an all time high. The authorities supposed to regulate and hold these people accountable are

Tesla was lazy? Can you call a man lazy, as an extreme example, who slept 16 hours a day and output half of what Tesla did? Da Vinci did the same shit with tangents/investors, and slept multiple times a day. Was he lazy too?

Sure would have been nice to know tho. Ah well - why should we expect that basic level of transparency, right?

Hey YC - Please answer me this question - have your mods flagged this story? It sure is odd how an incredibly active discussion in a fresh story with >100 points is on page 2 behind stale and dead stuff on the front page. Seems kinda rel

You wouldn't say that if you'd seen how the BBC and the Guardian, never mind the right-wing rags, were talking about Corbyn last year. And the US election? I honestly don't know why ye haven't dismantled your MSM brick b

It's disturbing how all your comments are going grey.. Fuck this site, it's lost it's way.

The BBC are awful. The way they covered Corbyn in the last election was sick and horrifying. They are no longer the example to use in these situations, if they ever really were.

Agreed, I think it's very hard to deny at this point. Careful what you say :D Thank you for reminding me to read the Culture series. I've put it on my list for many other reasons, and now I have a new one :)

I wouldn't - see the recent spez shit over on Reddit. Would be nice if we could have a discussion on it instead of just saying it's impossible though - is this a community of hackers or just apologists?

by Sone7 9y ago
Is it though. Because it seems like we have zero evidence either which way, and your account is seemingly always on the status quo side. Myself, I see fuck all discussion on here any more that reminds me of old HN.

Oh, good to know. Guess we don't need any kind of logging system for that, we'll just take it at face value - I'm sure there are absolutely no other reasons that mods would downweight posts, so that's just great. /s

There's a ring of truth in that alright. Thanks for the insight :) Since you design these systems - how developed are the standards for customer service? Are there watchdogs on the practice, or is it basically left entirely up to the c
