> 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."
