I really wish there was more transparency. We can’t see flagged posts without a direct link.

How about a flagged section?

What about a feature to challenge the flag?

What about a justification for the flag? Do flagged posts need to be approved by a mod?

I love HN. Flagged posts are the worst part. I can’t tell if the community is being taken over by a subset of bad actors, or YC is asserting opaque editorial control. Feels bad.

The purpose of a system is what it does. If the end result is the same, is there a difference?
