Re:How Hacker News ranking really works: scoring, controvers... by dennisgorelik on Wednesday November 27, 2013 @10:03PM (#6812780)
It's better to let everyone flag stories (or better yet - downvote).

But the weight of every flag should depend on how well user's downvoting correlate with your own downvoting.

If there is no correlation between user and you - then downvoting should not affect ranking.

That way you would get types of stories you don't like on HN to be quickly downvoted.
