That being flagged is completely absurd and honestly I believe you're right because I've never seen anything like it on HN. It's completely out of place for that comment to be flagged to death. That isn't natural.
replyIt wasn't flagged. Compare to this comment by the same user that was actually flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47954834 Note the part where it says [flagged] [dead] instead of just [dead].
replyThat seems.. worse? What would've caused this?
