Ask HN: How to view flags against me?

4 points by Thorentis 3y ago ↗ HN

I have noticed that my comments have stopped appearing near the top of posts and automatically get bumped a page or more deep immediately. They used to appear in the top 2 or 3 right after submission and then bubble down based on up votes.

I suspect a comment of mine was probably flagged recently but I don't know which one and can't see anything on my profile. Is there any way to view flags against you? Do these clear over time? The comment system on HN in my favourite on the internet and seems to solve the Reddit problem of comments being buried if you aren't commenter #1. Now I worry I won't be able to contribute any more. Anybody able to help?

Oh thanks, I didn't see that. Probably because flagged comments are auto-collapsed even on your own profile.

@dang - How long do flags last for? I didn't think my comment was that offensive, but regardless I appreciate the amount of effort you put into moderation. I will be sad to think nobody will see my comments any more if this is it.
