HN suggestion: Allow hiding username when commenting
This might apply only to users who can also downvote (apply the same "good citizen" filter). I think this would open up a lot of important comments and good stories.
- csomar 17y agoSome users have made it to the leader board and are already famous and we know their stories, other users can use a random username and put nothing in their profile page; how will you recognize them? (I think most users are already doing it)
- andrewcooke 17y agofyi there's a greasemonkey script that does this, i think - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1201518 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1201518 - although i haven't used it myself. (i realise this isn't the same as changing the site, since you don't get a change in mass behaviour, but if you wanted to see what it was like...)
