Just wanna say I can't understand Hacker News' stance on politics:

Someone posts Paul Graham's post talking about "woke" ideology and mods/admins do nothing about it

While this one stays flagged

At least be consistent

>>burger+ce
Just to be clear, there's one main mod (dang) and they don't flag submissions, that honour falls to regular users who've been here a year or three or more (whatever the time | point threshold is).

Most of the users that can [flag] also have the option to [vouch]. If enough vouch the flag is reveresed (as far as I know).

You can't vouch for posts, only comments.

>>Philpa+Af
You can vouch for posts, but only once they're [dead]. [flagged] is not [dead] on its own, and so nothing can be done by users yet (other than maybe reaching out to the mod). If it acquires enough flags to become [dead], then those of us with enough karma could vouch for it.

Note that the same thing is true for comments. Occasionally, but not often, you'll find a [flagged] comment that isn't [dead], you can't vouch for those either. Only once they become [dead] can they be vouched for.
