It only takes 3 votes for a new story to get on the front page.
It drops off pretty quickly if it gets no more votes or if it gets flagged.
Re-posts of old stories are welcome as long as they're interesting and the story hasn't had a significant discussion thread for the past 12 months [1].
If you see a story that doesn't belong on the front page, flag it or email the mods - [email protected].
Don't publicly trash the site by speculating it's broken when the site maintainers work damn hard to make sure it works smoothly, and when there's no evidence that it's working in any way other than is intended and desired by the community.
