Yes, I've also found that it has. The most likely reason is that either someone (mods) is vetting them to ensure that the high quality posts stay up, or maybe the community itself is doing the good thing by upvoting the good quality posts and downvoting the bad ones. Or maybe, its a combination of both!
- pwg 7y agoPosts can't be downvoted. They can only be upvoted, ignored, or flagged. And everything on the front page gets there by being upvoted by readers.

[1] except the job ads of course
- owlninja 7y agoI think you can downvote after getting 500 karma.
- codegeek 7y agoNot posts. Only comments can be downvoted. Posts can only be flagged.
