maybe some bayesian learning algorithm disseminates the url you submitted and calculates a spam possibility based on the tokens (then the token 'youtube' might have a high bias for spam). just a thought though, that I got after reading http://paulgraham.com/spam.html
This happens when you submit a link to a spam site. When it happens to innocent people it's usually because some site has been mistakenly classified as a spam site, e.g. by an admin fat-fingering something on an iPhone.
BTW, wanted to ask if you have supported any non-YC projects? (planning to build better AirBnB)

In the meantime keep funding fledgling companies and we'll choose from the abundance of HN apps already available. :)
Do you have a favorite? The one I liked and paid for hasn't been updated in a long time and is essentially broken.

One day I'll make a mobile-optimized version.
HN already is a mobile-optimized version (except possibly the up/down arrows). No need to waste your time. EDIT: Well, the community has spoken.
I wouldn't put too much into that...

It is very easy to fat finger the "flag" link as a user when browsing from a phone. Any thoughts on a mobile skin to HN that removes flag?
An alternative to a mobile skin might be to have the option to "unflag" something. Even with a mobile skin, I could see submissions still being accidentally flagged.

One possible solution would be to have only the arrow you click disappear, so you could always hit the other one and at least cancel out your own vote if you made a mistake.

I hate doing this. I just want to see the comments for an interesting article and end up flagging it. I always hammer on the back button, but doubt it does any good. I don't know if a single user flagging a post on accident has any real effect, but it makes me feel terrible.
