Excellent.

> Second, we've started indicating in the UI which comments/stories have been killed by user flags.

What does this look like in the UI? I haven't seen any examples of it yet, and I'd expect to see at least a few on a regular basis.



Instead of [deleted] it'll say [flagkilled].


The string [flagkilled] is put before the title.


Ah, so this is only for stories actually killed by flagging, rather than just for stories demoted by flagging?


I've only seen it for comments, but it appears just like a [deleted] comment, except the text says [flagkilled].


That's correct. For both stories and comments.
