I see it's back online. I'd also remove the last sentence or reword "a bunch of tech nerds", that seems a bit stereotyping.
HN is lacking many features. Reddit has direct messages between users (inbox etc), HN barely has voting and flagging. Some users do what you did here: submit another Ask HN. You can also email the moderators, contact link is in the footer.
Thanks, and good call, I'll reword that sentence. I wasn't trying to be disparaging, as a fellow tech nerd myself, but it does seem potentially inflammatory and not representative of everyone here.
Edit: Can't edit my other post, so I guess the sentence stands as is.

Also, it was probably flagged by users, not by the mods. If enough users flag it, the post get's killed.
