It points to a moderator specifically changing how the sorting algorithm is applied to this story. Vote weighting. Or maybe it's a new change to automatically vote weight stories where there are more comments than points.
- axod 17y agoOh interesting, didn't know that went on.
- Alex3917 17y agoDo any of the moderators want to comment on this?
- pg 17y agoI didn't do anything specific to this story, and there is still no vote weighting yet. I changed the frontpage ranking algorithm slightly yesterday, and I tweaked it again today. The reason it seemed to take effect suddenly is that I had pasted the new version yesterday into the server repl, and news had restarted since then. When I pasted the tweaked version into the repl 2 hours ago, it visibly changed rankings.
