Ask HN: What are all my submissions getting flagged

1 points by 0mbre ↗ HN
I have tried a couple of time to show HN a open source project I am releasing and got an instance [flagged] mentioned in the title. I wonder why that is. I have been on HN for a long time and nothing should be suspicious about my account. Any ideas on what could be going on ?

all or one, I only see one flagged submission

I've deleted the previous one. It does look like that, but it's not (wouldn't take you long to find out why too)

The best way to use HN is to not give even the tiniest shit about what people say or do or if your posts get flagged or ignored. If you're going to post something, just post it and never look back. Resist the urge to care whether anybody actually reads your thing or responds. Just read or post or comment, don't interact, don't expect others to either. If you lower your expectations appropriately you will never be disappointed.

thanks for the input, tbh my expectation were pretty low to start with :D

I am thinking since my account hasn't posted in a while they might have an automated mechanic in place cause I am sure this wasn't a human action. It was instant.

Got auto flagged for putting 2 ?'s in my title lol. Emailed them and reposted without punctuation and it was fine.
