I don't like this being flagged. This is a leader in our industry, involved in precedent setting legal action, discussing the solipism of his opposing side, and the further weakening of the laws on which he relies.

This is as relevant as anything we can have here.

@dang if you're taking opinions I vote it stays.



Flagging only potentially limits further discussion, i.e., the ability of HN commenters to add more comments and votes. The submission stays regardless of being flagged.

I'm not a gamer but Tim Sweeney seems like he has some integrity unlike these so-called "tech leaders".


what's the difference between flagged and dead?


Example 1: "dead"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42666783

Example 2: "flagged"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42666783

Unless "yes" is selected for "showdead" on member profile page, visitors may not be able to see example #1

More importantly, even if the submission is not hidden, visitors cannot comment further on the submission


hmm... I think you make a mistake.

both are the same link. And neither seems to show dead/flagged, and it makes no difference if I turn showdead on or off.


Apologies for the error

Example 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42665771

Example 2: same

A submission can be both "flagged" and "dead" hence the example URL is the same


Here is a submissioon that is "flagged" but not "dead". Notice how comments are disabled.
