2 pointsby Anil1331over 3 years ago
Hi all, A post of mine got “flagged”:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=28706378<p>The string ‘[flagged]’ got added to the title.<p>The link is to a free tool which can be used by anyone to generate youtube name ideas, so not particular the reason for getting it flagged

&quot;Flagging&quot; is done by individual users, at their own discretion, for more or less arbitrary reasons. If a posts accumulates enough &quot;flags&quot; it goes into the state you are seeing. It&#x27;s really hard to say why a specific post received flags, unless the exact individuals who chose to flag it decide to speak up.<p>I wasn&#x27;t one of the people who flagged your post, so I can&#x27;t really say much more than that.

You seem to be using Hacker News to post links to a &quot;weekly newsletter.&quot; Seems a lot like spam and it&#x27;s probably against guidelines. This is a forum meant for substantive conversation, not your personal blog.
