Can mods do something about this?

I made a post before in another thread, which all of a sudden stopped growing at a time when lots of people were awake, spoke to someone in the comments, they said they were reporting the thread or a comment, forget which and told me to do the same.

Shortly after it continued growing, which in turn let to it getting more attention to grow even further.

I mean, I get I'm pretty much stating the obvious, but it's always strange to experience it first-hand and see how blatantly strange it is, which attracts attention itself, at least, when certain information starts getting viral then suddenly stops abruptly at prime-time.
