- samwillis 5y agoI think you are mostly right, it looks to me like stories that are rising up the page, rather than dropping or stationary. Could it be a feature that is usually visible to mods or highly ranked users but has accidentally been opened up? (Also I have a vague feeling is seeing this before) Edit: 100% sure this is right. Also this story just dropped from 2nd to 13th instantaneously. Thinking as it’s HN Meta it’s probably (understandably) been flagged by a mod…

Might only be recomputed periodically, but it doesn't seem to make sense to update this at a different frequency than the rank itself. > Could it be a feature that is usually visible to mods or highly ranked users but has accidentally been opened up? That has also crossed my mind. Whatever it is, I'm intrigued now!
