You are the expert! (and I linked to one of your posts in the article too) Replying to the comments: 1) Yes, it doesn't take many votes to reach the front page, but once a post gets established there I expect it to gather more upvotes (then crossing the 40 points threshold). 85% of posts on the front page right now have >30 upvotes now, and I expect them to keep going up. 2) We don't have comment scores, but we do have them ranked. So you could assign them points based on what position they are relative to others, and what position does their parent have. Looking forwards to the experiment :). 3) Yup, titles matter a lot, and unfortunately we don't know what titles were modified after the fact. 4) Thanks for the clarification! Thinking about 2) - as you comment a lot and you can see your own comment scores, we could train a model that goes from rank/time to score.
