I don't usually do this, but I am genuinely curious about this happening. At about 10:31 BST this morning the following item was submitted (not by me):

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4280213

It quickly gained an additional 5 upvotes, and I was looking forward to the HN community's discussion, because I am about to revamp a certain site, and was looking to see what people thought about the specifics listed on that page.

It got to number 7 on the front page at about 11:10. Then it disappeared. It's now down between 900 and 950 or so. Yes, I went and checked.

I was disappointed - I always look forward to in-depth and/or illuminating discussions on HN - but more than that, I'm really curious to know why this item has been flagged so heavily, or, alternatively, buried by the moderators/admins.

So please, here it is again. You're (obviously) free to flag it again if you feel the need, but please, let me know why.

Thanks.
