- Chris2048 9y agodepends on what you consider to be a member. If there wasn't a karma cap, it'd be easy to sock-puppet-fake the votes.
- th4dv 9y agoThis is an excellent point. Sadly, people who share less popular opinions will (probably) never get to the point when they can start up/down voting. So the only way to get these "superpowers" is to join the HN circle jerk.
- Chris2048 9y agoThat's only True if you constantly make unpopular opinions, such that they outweigh your regular ones. There are all sorts of neutral comments that can be made, a point a piece..
