This story has “62 points” and was posted 43 minutes ago (at the time I’m posting this comment) but as soon as I read the story and hit back in the browser, it was pushed off the first three pages of articles. What happened? Did this story get flagged? There’s lots interesting discussion here.
- as1mov 6y agoI think that's just HN's flamewar prevention method. Any story with a low score and a large number of comments are pushed down quickly, this is in addition to the fact that the post is getting flagged which pushes it down further.
