Does HN have the equivalent of shadow banning for stories? This story is on the second page but has many more votes than front page stories that were posted at the same time.

Flagging affects ranking (quite strongly), which is what I would assume in this case, as do other things like vote-to-comment ratio.

Interesting. The ranking of this story has been bouncing around a lot! It's now halfway up the front page again.

The mods can also manually down-weight and up-weight stories, independent of any user flagging. Some guy did an analysis some months back:
