Can someone help me understand what is going on with the mods or the ranking algorithm here? This post was on the front page this morning, dropped from #19 to #50 within in one minute. Then it reappeared on the front page for a good two hours, now mysteriously dropped from #9 to #50 within one minute. It's like there is a bot or mod that is flagging it down to #50. I'm beginning to suspect I'm cursed or someone has it out for posts from this domain! Kind of disappointing since I worked really hard on this piece. I've read how the ranking algorithm works but I don't have a voting ring and there is no flame war happening here. Sad face.
