Ask HN: Is something broken with HN scoring?
Normally I assume if something's dropped of front page it's because it got flagged or because HN's vote rigging algo got triggered, but I noticed this Ask HN of mine seems to have vanished:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2909069
It's not visible anywhere on the "Ask" page where it should logically fall. It's had too few votes for it to have been hit by any vote rigging mechanism and it seems unlikely a question about SaaS payments would get flagged.
So has something buggy got into HN's rating system or is there some other aspect of scoring that I'm missing ?
- stonemetal 15y agoWhen I look at the ask page it appears two down from this one(this is #2 it is #4). It hasn't been flagged and has two responses.
- tptacek 15y agoHow do you know if it's been flagged?
- stonemetal 15y agoWell that is to say isn't dead. I don't have show dead on, and it is visible in the list.
- ig1 15y agoIt is for me now as well, but it wasn't before, I wonder if it's a caching bug or something.
