HN moderators aren't deleting any comments. (We only do that when the author asks us to, and almost never when the comment has replies.)

If you're referring to some other form of moderation that you think is bad or wrong, please supply links so that readers can make their minds up for themselves.

They were flagged, a system where a minority of HN users can moderate away posts they don't like.

Is there any overview which lets us see specifically flagged submissions? I suspect this system has too many false positives to be useful.
