> The story is being flagged by users as well as a relatively mild moderation penalty. This is fine. I don't necessarily agree with the 2nd paragraph as this is merely an update to an ongoing story that does have some importance given it's context within the current efforts to have the startup world and programming be a more equal place. I know that comment points have been hidden, and largely I think that works really well, but is there any chance that the stories could have some indication made public when they become subject to a moderation penalty. Simply, if you could let people know why things appear to change place wildly outside of the params of the position algorithm then people would know that this was a result of community intent rather than any kind of interference. A bit like Slashdot's comment level "-5 Offtopic", but for stories.
