- throwaway5752 10y agoBasic formula is that "controversial" posts get a nudge downward in placement. Climate change posts attract trolls that get downvoted and flagged more frequently that normal stories, and AGW deniers downvote the story and downvote/flag many comments. Has the net effect of pushing those stories off the front page quickly. That said, credit where credit isdue: this is a nice hack from the submitter. Facefinder looks fun.
