Moderators can downweight posts to drop their rankings. Here are 3 examples:
https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=41791369 https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=41791369
https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=41815614 https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=41815614
https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=41821336 https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=41821336
