- Mz 10y agoI don't recall the exact numbers anymore, but if you have a high number of comments relative to the number of upvotes early on, it gets automatically deprecated by the software. So, you get a few upvotes, it hits the front page, a bunch of people promptly post something, it falls off the front page, basically. The assumption is this is a fighty subject and the kind of conversation breaking out is not the kind they want to foster here -- or so I understand it, as someone who is just a member.
