Why this hypocrisy then? Shouldn't we have equal standards for all the things?

  It's not hypocrisy, it's just very subjective. People upvote funny things from time to time, and downvote things that aren't funny often. There's no objective standard for that, obviously, but generally, 'funny' means something fairly new and unique and with some thought behind it, not trotting out some lame old sarcastic joke. Edit: I suppose the moral of the story is: if you're not sure, don't post it.

  No we shouldn’t and it’s not hypocrisy. It’s appropriate editorial control. Think how a magazine editor would think. A great profile of Julian Assange might be worthy front page material if it is the first Wikileaks article in months, it probably isn’t if articles about Wikileaks were on the front page every day the whole last month.
