Is there any resource explaining how flagging works on HN? To me it has always been a black box. Is there a manual reviewing process involved or is it all automatic?

The guidelines have this to say:

Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
