That is a misunderstanding. Community opinion isn't just expressed in upvotes. It's expressed in upvotes and flags. Countless stories make the front page, only to be flagged off it by other users. This happens many times a day.

I didn't downvote you, and indeed no one on HN (including me) can downvote a direct reply to them.

This you? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42640271

You're telling me there were 40+ flags on this? GTFO.

I was seriously using this site for fun, but this is just straight bullshit so now you've turned this user into someone who was enthusiastic to someone who knows this place is garbage. Streisand effect on steroids.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking here.

I'm saying that I liked this site until I noticed that my submission (the only one I've ever made) got 40+ points and never made it to the front-page. Then I noticed that my upvotes don't work. Then I saw you lie about how my post made it to the front-page and started getting flags (it never made it there). So why would I be anything other than hostile?
