| Feb 11, 2021 at 14:14 | comment | added | Alec Rhea | @MartinSleziak Thank you for clarifying, I'll edit the post. | |
| Feb 11, 2021 at 12:41 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | @MartinSleziak oh, so the threshold is -4 ? Well, there goes the "one customary downvote to make it less visible" theory. But I guess the roomba clean-up is relevant: a Q might not be closed, but be so borderline that at least some people voted and at least one downvoted, so it won't stick around permanently | |
| Feb 11, 2021 at 11:45 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @FrancescoPolizzi As far as I know, this is the only place where low score hides questions: mathoverflow.net They won't be hidden if you're here: mathoverflow.net/questions (regardless of whether you use the newest tab or the active tab). More details can be found here: How does Stack Overflow determine for how long to keep a question in the main page? - the threshold is -4 on main and -8 on meta. Negative score is also a factor for roomba. | |

| Feb 9, 2021 at 11:35 | comment | added | Francesco Polizzi | In this precise moment, I see a question with score -1, one with score -6, one with score -4 and one with score -3 on my front page (in the "newest" section). | |

| Feb 9, 2021 at 3:48 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | One downvote is enough to keep a question off the front page? I thought it took more than that. | |
| Feb 8, 2021 at 23:20 | comment | added | dhy | +1: Thank you for your perspective (and for the sentence beginning "The fact that I like this site has heavily to do with the fact that I am a masochist...," it made me laugh.) | |
