I've flagged Gruber in the past for posts that were contentless flamebait (in my opinion, of course).

I don't know what the story is with Thurrott. Because of the banning, it sounds like a special case that the mods of HN have ultimately decided on, not just the users. So I'm ok with believing that it's not just a story about factions and groupthink.

I think excessive flagging can hellban websites, just like too many downmods can hellban users.

I really don't see anything remotely ban worthy on Winsupersite, do you?
