That thread was nuked from the front page after ~1 hour.
- dang 3y agoYes, users flagged it. We eventually reduced the penalty, though not enough for that thread to get back on the front page. The current thread, however, ended up spending 8 hours on the front page, far more than we'd ever normally allow for this class of story.
