		priv_acy on Oct 15, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Hacker News is a social echo chamber I can no longer flag because I flagged every inappropriate political post on the front page for a couple days. (It was a pretty bad stretch). I knew it wouldn't help much but it made me feel better. As a result I was flag-banned.

I'm guessing that if you're banned from flagging, then the political posts weren't inappropriate, but your behaviour was.

Or it is just a crude "this person flagged too often" filter, and he was actually being helpful and was punished for it.
