I can attest. I had two submissions that were inexplicably removed from the front page (both Show HN's). I emailed to ask why and in both instances dang reinstated my submissions.

Were you told why they were removed from the front page? That's more interesting to me/the community than the fact he reinstated.
As dang said, 1st time was due to false positive on the ring detector. He just asked me honor system style. That was cool, but even cooler, when it was reinstated kevin, YC partner, commented with some practical/usable feedback. This was a thing kevin and dang coordinated on a couple Fridays, and I hope they continue or even expand that effort for the community.
The 2nd time I think it was a flagging, maybe people didn't agree it should have been a Show HN.
We always tell people. False positives by the voting ring detector in that case, IIRC.
