Nope. Many comments from green accounts get flagged and then auto-killed unless vouched for.

This is a green account that got auto-killed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48304852

This is a green account where someone used the "flag" button to kill it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48262928

Note how the former only says [dead] while the latter is [flagged] [dead].


The spam filter does both. You can verify for yourself that flagging a comment most of the time is not enough to kill it.

To you and other commenters who are missing it ...

No green accounts involved here.


That doesn't mean the spam filter isn't culpable here - esychology is still a relatively new account.
