That was deliberate. I suspect that HN has somehow penalized or moderated my submissions, because while my submissions used to get on the main page literally every other day, for the past month my submissions have almost all been stuck at +1 or +2 (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=gwern).

The faq/guideline is pretty clear that the title field is not for editorializing. I don't know if there is a moderation feature like you posit but what can one expect after breaking community guidelines. Are the lower scored submissions items that you modified the title?

It's not some of the submissions. It's pretty much all of them, even entirely unmodified quoted titles.
