I was one of the users who flagged it and mentioned why.

Please stop doing childish behavior.

Fyi, flagging again.

I also noticed your are using multiple accounts to circumvent the shadowban which is not allowed.

I suppose a HN moderator can see it much more easily and it's stupid to think you are smarter, when even I've easily noticed it.

Ps. This is very annoying.

    Not using multiple accounts, please do not make unfounded accusations or I will report your account as harassing.

    Why are you flagging relevant discussion threads on moderation and undisclosed shadow banning policies that are relevant to the HN community?

    Shadow banning is a particularly severe form of moderation as it intentionally silences a critical voice without any notification that his/her voice is being censored, and without any ability to appeal to the larger HN community in case of an error.

    FYI Dang, the moderator of HN, reversed your decision on flagging aka “killing” my previous thread, please see his comment to you:

      You're only seeing what you want to see. He agreed with the points made, which was the basis for flagging:

      > But as other users have correctly pointed out, these points are meaningless if they don't come with specific links.

      About multiple accounts. Ok, could be then, weird that someone else followed up and you didn't.

      I'm not sure what you mean by relevant discussion. You just want to complain and are creating useless topics/comments without real content.

      Later on, you don't believe that it was the community, while i already explicitly mentioned multiple times that i was one of them. I'm pretty sure I wasn't alone and i doubt he even saw this thread.
