Did 'Best' keyword in title trigger a flag on my post?

Question

I worked really hard in this job board. I am guessing it was triggered by the word &lsquo;Best&rsquo; in the title which I&rsquo;ve updated. Wondering if there&rsquo;s a way to unflag?https://news.ycombinator.com/?id=25973251

It may be that HN requires submissions use the actual page title, not a title chosen to make the submission stand out. Here&rsquo;s a longer explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.htmlYou might resubmit it with the page&rsquo;s actual title.

Probably some users flagged it. (I'm not sure why. Are you scraping the job list? You posted it yesterday, but a few reposts are ok here. I don't see an obvious reason.)

Perhaps it should have been tagged as "show" rather than presented as a news item.Is you thing a "bot" or a "job board". Your website seems to be both. If the jobs are simply scraped from some other site, what value are you adding?
