Seems like that may have happened with this very substantive Bloomberg article today as well, worth reading, "How Women Got Crowded Out of the Computing Revolution": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15058338 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15058338 It was on the front page then disappeared quickly, then flagged and unflagged. I fear however that by the time it was unflagged it lost momentum and never had a chance to make it back. Here's a thought: Would it make sense to reset the decay rate for unflagged articles to counteract such effects?

+1. Beautiful irony isnt it? We have flag post feature... but if some HN God (admin) decides its still worth commenting, they turn the flag off. Its just another form of censorship at HN disposal right after list of blacklisted sites that automatically gets stories deleted. I say either have the feature and use it all the time, or dont have it at all. Otherwise Im not ready what HN comminity posted/wants to talk about. Im ready cherrypicked handful of articles/comments that some HN admin-God was willing to approve. Frankly, truly sickening!
