@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog for the sake of accuracy, due to misunderstanding of the implementors about how system works the penalty you mention has noticeable (and I would say overall detrimental) impact only on Stack Overflow. As for all other sites you can consider it absent. Workplace is a great example of implementors misunderstanding: its penalty was introduced to address case of 5 site questions in the hot list but even after getting it there were observed cases of 6-7-8 site questions in the list — gnat 20 hours ago
you'd have to choose whether you want penaly removed (to simplify the system) or increased (to make it work as it did in the beginning, when HNQs were listed in "collider dropdown"). Also you need to choose whether you want to have this for all penalized sites or make an exception for Stack Overflow. And, if you want this the same way for all sites including SO then you better consider how to tame possible consequences. I have similar feature request at MSE about another HNQ parameter
