Example 2: "flagged"

Unless "yes" is selected for "showdead" on member profile page, visitors may not be able to see example #1

More importantly, even if the submission is not hidden, visitors cannot comment further on the submission




hmm... I think you make a mistake.

both are the same link. And neither seems to show dead/flagged, and it makes no difference if I turn showdead on or off.


Apologies for the error

Example 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42665771

Example 2: same

A submission can be both "flagged" and "dead" hence the example URL is the same
