Why did this one disappear from the front page so fast?

Who knows, many of the HN algorithms are secret and there is no moderation log a la https://lobste.rs/moderations

True, but it's still always possible to get an answer to a question—you just have to ask. However, we might not see it unless you ask at hn@ycombinator.com.

I don't want to appear ungrateful - let me take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for all that you do. Your set up appears to work, and I'm probably in a minority with my demands.

We wouldn't have to ask if you had a public mod log (and banned sites list etc) and a public explanation of the algos that power HN.

Your comment reminds me of hotels - "X is available, just ask". A scheme clearly designed to reduce usage of X. I'm guessing the current audience is quite diverse, as most engineers would see through that kind of BS in about 0.2ms.

The moderator comments are a kind of public mod log and a thing worth looking at regularly if you're interested in how and why HN is moderated.

So users are meant to first discover the key (the username) to lookup the logs? Then find a needle in a haystack of comments? Again, are you being serious.

I'm not sure what exactly you're asking me. There's a thing that fulfills the function of a public moderation log, an answer to your original question. What is the other stuff about? HN is absolutely full of not-particularly-discoverable UI, it's practically made of it. You've been here for over a decade.
