I think so but only for a while and then different people can flag it again and then it can not be vouched. Vouch does show up for older articles that are only auto-[dead]. This article [1] probably needs more clarification. Or an update to the site FAQ would be nice.
I wish people had to give a reason for flagging a submission. I’ve tried posting an “Ask HN” post twice now on the impact of AI on job interview loops. Both times it was flagged nearly instantly with no justification given. I believe it’s a relevant topic to all of us.
