I was reading this post when it was still number 11 on the front page, went for lunch and came back, and now it is number 67 on page 3 ... Does anybody know why this happened? During this last hour the post went from 91 to 140 points so it's not like it wasn't popular.

  It is now in number 110 in page 4, among much older stories.

    I came here looking for it and had to search for "assage" past 24 hours to find it. Something is up. There are things on the front page that are older with less votes.

  This story is now 7 hours old with 164 points, but on page 5. I count 6 stories on the front page that are older than this with less points, e.g: 9. Virus stole poison genes from black widow spider (bbc.com) 155 points by kawera 10 hours ago | hide | 25 comments Is HN censoring?

    It's political, so it's probably being flagged and demoted for that reason. It's probably triggering the flamewar detector, and getting demoted for that reason. There's probably no need for active censorship by the mods to explain the observed results.

      There was another submission that was on the front page half an hour ago with only a few comments (so no flamewar) and appears to have been directly removed by a mod: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12724507 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12724507

      Of course the existing moderation policy constitutes a background of censorship, so your claims should be evaluated within that contest.
