The ranking does goofy things sometimes and it's clearly because it's being manipulated, but it's not specifically against you. Your problem is probably that you have a blocked or subscribed sub throwing it off when you log in.

I'm a programmer and also enough of an ass to tell you what I've noticed - how to manipulate yourself up the chart with very few accounts. I haven't tried any of this or reviewed the site's code for it. This is just my observation and guess based on seeing certain users whose posts rise to page 2 only ever having a score of 2.

  1. First, open 3 browsers on the same machine. You can use VMs with different proxies if you want to go undetected, but really I don't think anyone's looking anyway.
  2. Make a post from one account.
  3. Next, immediately copy-paste the link from it into your spare account browsers and upvote it before it's even appeared on /all/new. This will get you to appear on page two if not the front page most of the time.
  4. Happy Chaunukah
