I think the answer to this question is "not". The "gamed" post was flagged and killed.

I totally agree with you!! but the point is that you can hack your way to the homepage.. the moderators need to work on it.. and thats our point

> We would like to conclude the post saying that it was not a marketing gimmick from our end. Being hackers ourselves, we just wanted to check if HN algo was vulnerable to such tricks.

Ok does anyone buy this?

I understand y people might be annoyed with it.. but the point is we were trying this trick and if we actually were scammers i would continue doing that and generating traffic.
