Is there a place where all these rules are detailed by the way ? not that I want to game the system , I'm working on a HN clone, and it would be interesting to know the business logic behind comments and submissions (how comments are sorted on an item page, how an article makes it to the homepage, is there something manual curation ? an algorithm ? ect... ) . While looking simple in terms of functionalities , HN is actually quite complex when it comes to content management,moderation and curation. I mean if all this is managed automatically.
- stormbrew 10y agoThe logic behind the time limit on down voting is almost certainly to prevent people from going into someone's history to downvote everything they ever said. Since your karma is literally the number of (upvotes-downvotes) you've ever received, doing that to someone could remove a huge chunk of their karma.
