@yummyfajitas - it appears that all of your posts are dead right now. I'm not clear if you've been banned after many downvotes or what, but the last several posts are all dead now.



Yummyfajitas isn't banned. Some of his comments are being flagged by users.


I just noticed that I now see [flagkilled] instead of [dead] some places. Is that new? And if so, I'm guessing it was not applied retroactively?

Just curious, because it looks like you're trying to be more transparent and I applaud that.


Yes, it's a week or so old and means that user flags killed a story or comment.

I don't understand your question about retroactiveness; can you explain?


Has there been a change to the number of downvotes needed to make a post "dead"? I've had showdead on forever, and it feels like I'm seeing many more posts that have been deaded by voting alone.


Essentially I'm asking if it applies to all posts or only posts after the feature was added.


Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering if he'd tripped something automatic.
