    It’s at 123 point, submitted 3 hours ago, but there are posts on the frontpage from 6 hours ago with just 106 points. So it’s either overheated discussion or moderator decision, which of them is it?

      Both.

        Appreciate the work you do to keep this site civil. Is downweighing through moderator action a binary feature or is the pressure adjustable depending on the moderator's discretion?
        • dang 5y ago
          It's adjustable in the sense that there are different weights.
