    Bummer I cannot see it, as I really loathe Imgur. It has become the poster child model of what it was created to circumvent. I cannot, in good conscience, allow any of the following through UBO. alexametrics.com certify-js.alexametrics.com ccgateway.net imgur.ccgateway.net consensu.org quantcast.mgr.consensu.org facebook.net connect.facebook.net google-analytics.com www.google-analytics.com media-lab.ai js.media-lab.ai quantserve.com secure.quantserve.com scorecardresearch.com sb.scorecardresearch.com

  The mods sometimes put posts in a 'second-chance' pool if they think the post was high-quality but may have been overlooked. These posts get randomly placed somewhere on the front page with the timestamp "reset".

    > I have a sneaking suspicion that this manual curation is more common than we realize and could be the main reason for HN's high quality. They manipulate submissions and comments A LOT... sometimes they write a comment about their modifications but often do not (maybe when they think it will go unnoticed?).
