Were we censored or did we flag the articles by ourselves, or did the admin remove all the Erlang entries from appearing on the front page? How did we get rid of the Erlang articles? I'm just curious about it.
I guess enough people flagged it to take it away.<p>There is a lower limit where stuff will get auto killed if enough people flagged it.<p>What bothers me most about these silly flooding tactics is that you've potentially burned a lot of good content about Erlang from ever appearing on HN.<p>Erlang is a neat concept, and I think that those that flooded the 'new' page with Erlang stuff have done more damage than good.<p>What you could have simply done is to flag the articles you thought had no place on HN instead of trying to monopolize the discussion by flooding.
