My guess is that you don't even have an upvote button.

You have that little triangle, but I don't think it really upvotes.

For example, this post has 5 points but is not on the ASK page. While older posts with just 3 points are. Probably because it is "upvoted" mainly by "little guys".

As I understand it, clicking the triangle only means "put this in my saved stories list" unless you somehow secretly become a real upvoter.

I think we all are still waiting for a community with transparent rules. So far, none has managed to get a lot of traction.

I think it probably got flagged, as many meta-discussions do. I upvoted it, FWIW.

Wouldn't it have needed "Ask HN:" preceding the title for that? I don't think upvotes (or lack thereof) determine presence on the ask page.
