Reading this, I found myself wondering what Eliezer felt he needed to justify censoring, and why he felt the need to talk us into approving his doing so.
Then I took a look at the “Top Contributors”, and noticed that despite having a karma score higher than several people on the list, my account wasn’t listed.
It seems as though ‘top contributors’ has been sluggish lately—I’ve observed a few cases of changes in karma not affecting the list, where I saw it update immediately in the past. I also observed what Annoyance notes above.
ETA: also, there are several high-karma people who seem absent from the list for no apparent reason.

It’s been reported. The sluggishness is due to caching, but there are too few people in the list and there are people with higher karma that are not being included.
I remember recently someone noted that having anything ‘banned’ removes you from ‘top contributors’ - can’t seem to find the reference. Not sure if there are any other relevant mechanisms.

Hm.
Mine neither. I don’t think it’s censorship.
I see you above thomblake and below Vladimir. Do you see something different?

I see it now, but that’s changed today. Anyway, this is already in the bug tracker.
