Our Ranking Algorithms

Popular Posts Algorithm

Our Popular ranking uses a sophisticated algorithm that balances multiple factors:

Popularity Score = (VoteScore + CommentBonus + EngagementBonus) × TimeDecay

Vote Score: Logarithmic scale of net votes (upvotes - downvotes) to prevent manipulation
Comment Bonus: Rewards posts that generate quality discussions
Engagement Rate: Comments per vote ratio - high engagement gets boosted
Time Decay: 12-hour half-life keeps content fresh (50% score reduction every 12 hours)

Controversial Posts Algorithm

Controversial posts are identified by balanced disagreement and heated discussion:

Controversy Score = BalanceScore × Magnitude × (1 + DiscussionIntensity) × TimeDecay

Balance Score: How close the vote split is to 50/50 (perfect controversy)
Magnitude: Total votes (more votes = more significant controversy)
Discussion Intensity: Comments per vote - heated debates score higher
Minimum Threshold: Requires at least 10 votes to ensure statistical significance
