Was already flagged. I vouched it and it became unflagged. Now it's flagged again...

(I don't think every story about this conflict should be on HN by the way, as a "major on-going topic". But IMHO this particular story seemed like a good one as it intersects with tech and is something actually new, at least to some degree).

It's flagged again. What's vouching?

There's a "vouch" button on flagged comments and some flagged stories, which will unflag a story. I'm not entirely sure under which conditions it's available on flagged stories (it's almost always there for flagged comments). I think it probably gets disabled after it got flagged → vouched → flagged, or something? You need at least 500 (or more?) reputation points regardless.

It's only on [dead] items, not [flagged]. Sometimes it's [flagged][dead] but the only thing that matters for allowing to vouch is if it's [dead].
