I realize its not the best thing to happen to HN but do we really think its fair/appropriate/considerate to "petition" pg every time someone's submission is flummoxed?

If that's the only path to resolving the issue, why is it unfair/inappropriate/inconsiderate?

If the algo is killing good content we want on HN, then pg either has to fix the bug (I'm going to go ahead and assume this is very hard) or just manually fix the individual stories.

>do we really think its fair/appropriate/considerate to "petition" pg every time someone's submission is flummoxed // As it appears this is the only way to appeal against what appears to be a bad algorithmic story rejection then IMO yes this is fair and appropriate. If there were moderators or a user moderation process then these sorts of issues would get picked up there. Of course PG is perfectly within his rights to ignore any such submission, depends on the purpose of the site really.
