- ricksunny 5y agoThanks - >How are stories ranked? >The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way. I think this criteria was satisfied. When I posted the comment, the story had been up for only 4 hours (I had taken a screenshot at the time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16yyiJH06WQ2GbGKVgLz03473veW6swfm/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/16yyiJH06WQ2GbGKVgLz03473veW...). >Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action. So it was likely one of these 5 criteria.
