Last time I checked the flagging penalty was about 40 spots. Maybe it's more nuanced and now it's 70 spots. Maybe dang knows.
Edit to add:
I imagine this has some interesting overlap with YC's "tell us about the time you hacked something other than a computer" and sama's "Founder Ethics" advisory.
Interesting that this got flagged. It is about hacking something other that a computer. It's about my opinion that tipping is not a crime. It helps me, it helps the person at the desk, and it helps me create a connection (and loyalty with the hotel). Hotels DO NOT tell employees not to accept tips. Its part of the game.

How did this go from front page, #2. to third page, #72 in a matter of seconds?

It's not even showing up in the top 200 for me.
