I guess because people of good will will flag those posts off the front page and people of ill will will capitalize on that

flagging seems like a strange way to evolve norms; it's not a vote of high-karma folks, just a silent bury brigade.

at minimum, this makes it harder for people to know why things are happening, and how to understand the norms.

Posts flagged off the front page are marked [flagged]; means users flagged.

FWIW: to the extent that these responses are unhelpful, disregard!

heh. It just seems that (1) a handful of flags is enough to knock things off; (2) that is a poor way to evolve norms. :)

but perhaps a good way to ensure that the inner circle is able to avoid embarrassment? hard to tell.

I have a high degree of confidence that Dan and Scott don’t run HN so as to shield YC from criticism.

also, there's a difference between criticism and embarrassment I think.
