Queen Elizabeth II has died
I gotta admit that it <i>is</i> a bit weird to see british royalty being so heavily privileged that they even get special moderation treatment here on HN to protect them (?) from any negativity, or rather stop negativity about them.<p>I&#x27;m not keen on the idea of using this submission to flame the Queen, I obviously agree with the general rule of avoiding flamebait, what I mean is that other HN submissions on the deaths of people certainly didn&#x27;t get this special treatment. It is also not at all enforced in both directions when looking at the obviously and comically over the top positive comments of low quality which contain no real substance.<p><i>Edit:</i> I used the wording &quot;stop negativity&quot; which might be misleading, since (as far as I am aware) no comments are being deleted. What I&#x27;m talking about is moderation giving out a <i>lot</i> of warnings and keeping a closer watch on &quot;flamebait&quot; violations than I&#x27;ve ever seen before on <i>any</i> submission.
