Ask YC: Is there a Submissions/Comments cap?
I was browsing http://news.ycombinator.org/threads?id=nickb
and his comments/submissions are available for only 41 days whereas my own limited postings are available in whole. Can someone explain if there is a cap or other system in place for users with massive karma?
The cap seems to be at 180 submits (I've checked maybe 4 users with 2000+ karma) and variable comments.
