Well you were right in coming here, this is basically the only Stripe customer support desk.

they flagged our post, any opinions why?

All users with at least 31 karma can flag post. With enough flags, the post gets marked as [flagged] and with more flags it gets marked as [dead].

You can email the mods to get an official answer, but it's almost sure they will just reply that.

how do you get karma? or prevent getting one?

there are a few links at the bottom of HN that can help you:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - these are guidelines on what is and is not appropriate on HN. they can help guide you toward what are appropriate posts and comments.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html - FAQs that answer a lot of the questions that you've been asking.

https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html - the (very specific) rules on what "Show HN" is, and why and why not you would post to the special "Show HN" section of HN.

I would recommend reading them thoroughly before continuing to respond, as it might help temper some of your comments and the responses to them.

Would you please refrain from creating new accounts to post duplicates of this? That's in the guidelines as well. HN has an e-mail address down at the bottom if you want to get in touch with them to potentially get this one changed.
