Now at #93.

Perhaps HN should look into the weight of flagging, judging by #votes, seems like their ranking is not working or perhaps it is and they are happy this is not the top post.

Quite ironical, regardless as Reddit is a YC startup, none the less Paul Graham is the ideator and the post is about paid Reddit staff silencing users.

Edit: Now at 114 on the 4th page...

If you're trying to create a discussion community where the least desirable outcome is controversial discussions/flame wars, high weight on flagging seems to be a good way to do it.

Of course, people flagging it might be thinking all kinds of things like "Why would a topic about what Reddit does be important here?"

#128 for me now
