Unfortunately posts like these would end up being flagged one way or another, just like the previous ones, which had great discussions but ended up being flagged:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36457433

dang's reason for flagging them is as follows. Hopefully he or the other mods can change their mind about it as it is developing into something not insignificant or trivial:

As dang says, it’s sensationalist, and it’s the kind of ongoing development where we don’t have a lot of verified information yet and everything is still very much in flow and ephemeral. It’s a state of affairs where it’s difficult to have any kind of substantiated discussion.

This, for example, is a more suitable submission for HN about the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36459259

Sensationalist would imply inaccuracy of reporting. Is that happening with regard to these "Wagner Group" threads?

Sensationalist doesn’t imply inaccuracy, and it’s the submissions that are being referred to, not necessarily the threads.

What is sensationalist about the submissions?
