I'm glad to hear that the system indeed at least works equally badly for "both sides". It wasn't clear to me at all. I refuse your attempt at categorizing me.

I refuse your attempt at categorizing me. This isn't a battle. I don't want any "pro-SJW" content hidden from the front page either, just because a few people don't like it. That's not what user flagging is good for.
My point stands: As moderators, why do you accept these bad-faith flags that have a huge impact on visibility? With this policy, you are supporting the extremists on both ends.
- dang 8y agoMy recommendation is that you answer that question for yourself by studying what this community is and how people tend to react to stories of the kind you're advocating.
- horseLOGIC 8y agoMy studies show that you must have a community of adult children who throw a tantrum when they encounter something they don't like, combined with a group of exhausted parent moderators who let them have their way, against better judgement. I recommend family therapy.

I guess you're right, you shouldn't have to tolerate this amount of snark in one reply. I still think it's a valid point. > If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. Nah, I don't really care about it.
