Ask HN: Why my link disappeared from HN?
Here it is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9165462
It has enough score to be on front page and it briefly was there, but it then quickly moved to 4th page.
- lettergram 12y agoPeople may have flagged it
- DanBC 12y agoDid you ask anyone to vote for it? Did you announce the post on Twitter or anywhere else? You might want to email the mods to ask them.
- Suor 12y agoI announced on twitter and posted to reddit. Is this prohibited?
- DanBC 12y agoI don't know if it's forbidden or not, but it can trigger some of the HN mechanisms that detect voting rings. I'd email the site (the address is in the guidelines) and ask them about it. The article looks interesting, and it's a shame to see it sink so quickly.
- Suor 12y agoI've already emailed there, won't make a difference probably anyway. I hate this HN tricky rating, one my post got dumped from top 5 cause there were too many comments! Reddit kind of saves the day :)
