  > Enough users upvoted it to get it in spot #1 on the front page. Well, now I'm curious to see if pg manually shoves it off again, like he did with the earlier Very Popular Egypt Submission.

    That could have been a result of flagging. Flagging will push a submission down.

  No, it probably means the userbase has grown too much and HN needs a bit more policing in order to stay on topic.

    From HN guidlines If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.) Your account is 178days old.

      That's not what I said.

  Not to mention that I come here specifically to hear HN's views on the situation.
