It's on the front page now.

Maybe we're seeing different story sorts then, because I just rechecked and, for me at least, it's now at 114 and on the 4th page.

No, we're seeing the same thing. Fifteen minutes ago it was around #20, now it's #116.

So I think what's happening is that it gets heavily flagged and, because of that, demoted; then gets reviewed by the admins and the flags wiped; then gets heavily flagged again and demoted again.

p.s. It's now at 120 and about to fall off the bottom of the 4th page.

Interesting! Is there any way to automatically track the changes in position of a post to HN and check that afterwards?

Not that I'm aware of.

(And it's at position 135 now).

Do you see any evidence of the admins wiping the flags? I'm wondering if you are just speculating.
