Frequently Asked Questions
Using Arsenal News
How do kicks work?
If you are signed in then you can kick a story up or down to increase or decrease its popularity rating. Stories are also kicked using our
unique algorithm which is based on their popularity with all users of the site. If a story receives enough kick downs, it will be removed from the
site. The more everyone kicks good stories up and junk stories down, the better the content on the site gets for everyone else.
Yeah, but what are kicks?
Kicks are an arbitrary unit indicative of a stories popularity ;)
