But this is really strange, news like this with 186 pts atm is on 3rd page. Before it are news with 2pts. This doesnt make any sense. Is it a coverup by HN administration?

I would not shout coverup.

But that's the problem of closed source rating algorithms https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21544537

(not suggesting that HN would use contractors and blacklists, but generally the discussion about the black magic happening)

All it takes is a few people to flag the article.
