Why is this flagged and why can't I vouch for it?

>>bluefi+2b
The Elonites don't care for this sort of thing, as it makes Dear Leader look a bit silly.

>>rsynno+hb
Do they have the power to make a HN submission un-vouchable?

>>bluefi+vb
Submissions become vouchable once flagkilled, not once flagged.

>>greyfa+Xb
That's interesting, what's the difference between the two? Is there any recourse to reviving a flagged article like this?

>>bluefi+sc
I don't know the exact thresholds, but [flagged] happens at some # of flags, and [dead] happens at a higher # of flags. [flagged] are de-ranked, but not made invisible or unavailable for replies like [dead] are. I guess the recourse would be upvoting - I think those counteract flags in terms of ranking. I don't know if that would do anything to remove the [flagged] display, though.
