Does flagging something prevent it from being in the frontpage?
Also, this is only happening with stories with with the word "wikileaks" in the title. Not with other stories about wikileaks that don't have the word "wikileaks" in the title.
- mooism2 16y agoFor the purpose of something appearing on the front page, flags count as downvotes. They don't affect the point score, but they can cause something to appear further down than they would otherwise. There are several Wikileaks stories on the second page.
- gasull 16y agoOK, this explains what is happening. But if so I think some people are flagging automatically, maybe with scripts. There are WikiLeaks news in the frontpage. Only those with the word "wikileaks" in the title are affected, apparently.
