unclear if its the one where the official HN mods (there are only 2) believed to be the ones doing this
the reality is that the official mods are largely hands off, when they do get involved, more often than not it is to reverse a community flagging action, which is where most moderation happens, at a large enough community scale that a handful of people cannot wield this much flagging power
If you believe unjust flagging has happened, the best recourse is to email the HN mods, the are very friendly, helpful and fair
