Not familiar with how flagging works. Why would it be flagged?by nadir_ishiguro

when topics are too political usually flame wars abound and moderators can choose to flag/derank a submission to avoid the comments section going wild or just close comments altogether in extreme casesall i can find on doing research is if a thread has more comments than upvotes that might be what flags it as flamewar candidate (but seems mostly is manually reviewed by moderators, not fully-automated) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39790881 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39231821

Is there a simple rule about how many "flags" vs "upvotes" lead to an article not appearing on the front page?by ks2048
