According to emails from a while ago by dang flags are an effect of many users flagging, so it is not one person responsible. Besides, you're also affected by the flagging as HN software equally deems your comment to be unworthy of discussing or showing it to others. I think it is important to draw attention to this problem. As an active writer with many posts worthy of HN attention, this website has become unusable for me as my content isn't deemed safe.
