Regardless, reading as if it were "advertising" would possibly trigger the anti-advertising users, and HN is likely to have a slightly higher percentage of "anti-advertising" users than found in the general public. They may never notice the "ShowHN" label once they are triggered to think "just another SPAM".

Your post reads as an advertisement.
That is most likely why the number necessary of users flagged it.
Flagging is from normal readers hitting the "flag" button (those with enough karma to obtain flagging rights).
I marked the post as ShowHN. And, my understanding is ShowHN is product promotion only that user have developed. Is my understanding wrong?
