Well, the basic parts of the site are self-evident, certainly to anyone interested in the hacker community. And the other, more esoteric aspects of the site are 1) in the source and 2) occasionally mentioned in articles.

Not sure I would say that it is a red flag about the site.

I would say it's a red flag about the site. It's certainly not a red flag about the person (why should you have to read through the source to work out how the software works? There isn't even a link to the source from the software beyond using a Google search).

I'd say its fun and a challenge to find things by exploration. In some cases, such as poll posting, they are deliberately left unpublicized to prevent over abuse.
