- jgrahamc 16y agoPeople over a certain karma level (I've forgotten how much, but I was one of them) had their username colored differently (gold IIRC) in the comment threads. That meant that comments by high karma people stood out. This made it look like their comments were more important. The community here rebelled (including me) because there was a feeling that high karma and something interesting to say were not necessarily correlated. http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22orange+name%22+site:ycombinator.com http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=468239 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=468239
