Listen, I don't mean to be rude, but this isn't really the place to hash it out with moderators, or draw parallels with any part of Germany's less reputable history.

You should email them if you're convinced it's flagged and you have an issue with it.



>and you have an issue with it

You don't see a problem with a section of posters with good karma flagging posts like this?

Edit: I do think a better parallel is Digg's bury brigades.

I hope this doesn't come across as pretentious, because I don't mean it that way.

But honestly, I don't take Hacker News seriously enough for it to bother me. I use it to build connections in the community, keep up to date on tech and news matters, and post things from time to time.

It's not as though I need my posts to hit the front page. I post intellectual curiosities and some of my more interesting blog posts around the internet, but I couldn't care less if a small but powerful "1%" holds voting power on Hacker News.


The "moderators" here are just readers and commenters with karma more than 500(including you, I see).

How does one email them?

>draw parallels with any part of Germany less reputable history

Erm, it's about a jury system that failed, not really about German history.


I should clarify; I meant email info.ycombinator.

And I said the catch-all about German history because it's still one facet of Germany. It was just a more eloquent way of saying it.


The point is that there is nothing particularly "less-reputably" about a legal procedure that was introduced in 1848 and abolished in 1924.
