What kinds of user flags are there and why are they not public? People should know. Shadowbanning belongs in the 2010s.

>>Culona+(OP)
It's just the flagging you already have access to (as you have more than 30 karma). It's the flag option. There's nothing special otherwise that I'm aware of (at least at 2500 karma)

>>Culona+(OP)
In your profile settings there is an option to show flagged topics and posts.

>>rezona+mD
At some point you get the option to vouch for flagged posts as well.

>30 karma, same as flagging: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented?tab=re...

That's not an excuse. Most people won't see that.

>>rezona+mD
okay, looked into it, my bad!

User flags are flags users apply to a story.
