Why my post labled FLAGGED and how to prevent it?

Question

I'm confused why my "Show HN: Command Cheatsheet Client (x-cmd.com)" post was flagged. I understand flagging is important, but I'm unsure what rules I broke.Could it be because I posted about another x-cmd tool earlier? I see them as separate projects using the x-cmd framework, much like different projects on Github.Or, is "cheat" considered a negative term?Also, how many flags are needed to mark a post as "FLAGGED"?

Probably because you submit from that domain quite often. From the HN guidelines:
> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
