Can someone familiar with how the site actually works explain what has happened here? The story isn't marked with "[DEAD]" or whatever but it doesn't appear to be indexed on the main site at all anymore - I looked on the first half dozen pages. Has it just somehow been censored into oblivion?
- HN has an automatic flamewar detector algorithm - it monitors the tone of discussion on a post and if it's too negative, it gets knocked out from the front page
- it could've also been flagged too many times
I don't think it's been censored. it must be buried deep
