Hahaha, this made me laugh.. My good deed for the day has been upvoting a comment to allow someone to change their hackernews header colour.
It's taking me a while to parse this event.. I'm going to turn off the laptop and go get a drink now. Maybe two.
Damn you internets! What have I become!

- Mz 10y agoEvery other time I have suggested upvoting someone past a karma threshold so they could do a thing, I got downvoted into the negatives. Because, clearly, someone hitting 250 karma and getting to pick their own header color is an enormous threat to the social pecking order and quality of discussion by completely destroying the signal value of karma ranking. I shall be back next year to repeat this experiment and see if it works again (assuming I remember).
