You may not have noticed that posts voted down to 0 from their default alotment of 1 completely disappear from the "Hot" page's radar screen. bigjim tells us we can use the save function if we happen to catch something we want quickly enough (and man, do you have to be quick).

No thanks. Rather than play that game, I think I'll just keep my eye on the "New" page instead -- may not be as close to the pulse, but at least it's more reliable. If I want anything censored, I'll handle that myself, rather depend on the State-minded folk with the blot-out ink, whether they work for Renmin Ribao (Chinese State "newspaper)," whatever rag passes for a newspaper these days under Putin's thumb, or here.
