Hi everyone.

A friend's post was "flagged".

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29471922

I am not sure what that means but it is not a good thing, right?

Why did this happen?

I remember that GitHub links are allowed in a ShowHN post.

Because having dozens of accounts sign up to make unsubstantial comments and upvote is spam, and not welcome here.

Obviously because you sent all your friends (Twitter followers, whatever) here.
