Ask HN: Uncov articles being moderated on Hacker News?
I submitted an Uncov article about an hour ago and it has 3 points, 1 comment so far as of this post.

However, I do not see it anywhere in the top 300. I can only see it under the "Newest" link. What's going on? Is this submission being moderated? I believe it has enough points and age to be considered in the top 300.
I'd hate to think that Hacker News is unfairly moderating Uncov articles because things may have hit a little too close to home...
- pg 18y agoThe number of points an article needs to get onto the frontpage is not constant. It varies depending on the age of the account that submitted it, and the age, ip addresses, and previous upvotes of the upvotes on it. Comments have no effect.
- twampss 18y agoThanks for the clarification PG. And yes, I thought he was serious!
- qhoxie 18y agoYes it is being moderated. I suspect if there is any substance it will be pushed through before too long. /joke - Sorry for the confusion

- pg 18y agoI hope people realize you're joking.
- twampss 18y agoThanks qhoxie. Is this what HN does to all articles? Or just because it's from Uncov.com? Edited: inb4 /joke
- qhoxie 18y agoApologies for the confusion. HN is as democratic a news site as you will find, so no worries!
