@dang Could I ask why this topic gets systematically penalized in the HN ranking? There have been 15 submissions so far, I assume partly because previous submissions are not shown on the main page so HN users keep re-submitting it. This topic is both newsworthy and high interest.

(I was going to link to the 14 other submissions but the list is too long and it'd just come across as obnoxious.)



The threads have probably tripped the flamewar detector. Certain amount of comments plus some other metrics will hide the thread from the front page.


At the moment this is #1 on the frontpage.


The new HN voting mechanism is broken imo. Useless posts and articles of low value make it to the frontpage but valuable ones get shadowed.


There's a new voting mechanism?


And where do we go to find out about these things? Is there a discussion space or something?


Nah
