https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/m... has some details on flagging and vouching. Your account is below 31 karma so you don't see the links/features in the user interface yet. Besides users there's only two people working on HN. https://www.ycombinator.com/people/ lists only one, but I see somebody posted the New Yorker article that includes the second moderator.

Can you stop spamming the forum with useless or repetitive posts ?

They said this 36 days ago:

> I understand that posting it again and again is bad, sorry for that.

Then posted the same link 19 more times since then. And that's just in the last 36 days, before the above exchange there were 10+ of the link (thus the exchange).
