This already made the front page once today before it was nearly at the same moment

1) Taken down via HN hug of death

2) Nuked from orbit by mods.

Also I'm only at 2.5% I honestly figured I was far more toxic.

> Nuked from orbit by mods.

No moderator touched that post. It was killed by user flags. (Also, why on earth would we "nuke" a post sharing original work done with the HN API? That's why we made the API in the first place.)

Reposts of user-flagged items, though, we do tend to penalize. Otherwise flags wouldn't mean very much.

I assume flag killed was something mods could do :x I know they can super flag posts, I assumed that is what [Flag Killed] meant.
[flagkilled] means that a post was killed by user flags. I got tired of typing "This post was killed by user flags."
