Got it, thanks. Since that's that's been a big trend recently, is there anything that can be done to make sure posts like these don't just immediately get flagged into oblivion? I can absolutely see campaigns against HN that flag these sorts of posts to get off the front page.

Not expecting the answer to be yes, but figured I'd ask.

Can imagine a lot of folks simply don’t want to see these here, which is understandable, but I’m personally curious what the HN crowd thinks. Maybe once in a while is okay.

>>chaps+(OP)
Users can't flag unless they have reached a certain threshold in karma so I doubt there's a campaign going on.

>>chaps+(OP)
I personally don't want to see this here, and I flag this kind of subjects when I see them.

One of the great things about HN is that is manages to be an interesting website that usually keeps out of flamewar american politics.

There are plenty of those pretty much everywhere on reddit/internet, and I appreciate that this kind of 'us vs them' posts usually don't stay up long on HN.

I'm a bit disappointed dang unflagged it this time.
