For those interested in HN's approach to moderating the Reddit-topic "tsunami" (and yes, it really is and has been), dang and I discuss this in part in another thread here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36435312>

As usual, dang is reasoned, articulate, and fair. I have a better understanding of HN's policies and actions, even if I disagree in part on how this is being conducted.

I'm told (via email) that it was largely the flameware detector which adjusted this particular post's page ranking.
