How does flagging work on HN? Mods or user initiated?

User initiated though moderators can also do it. Your account has negative karma and you don't see the 'flag' and 'vouch' links yet. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

I believe that flag (and, I presume, vouch) takes more karma than "not negative", though I don't recall what the threshold is.
