The higher the poster's karma, the higher her comment will be upon posting. This user has almost 6k karma, so it can rise high. Once the comment is at the top for a minute or so, it can stay there if enough people keep upvoting it.
Try it and post a top level comment now. I'm pretty sure it won't be at the top initially because you don't have enough karma for that.
- dep_b 9y agoAh thanks, now it makes sense. I always wondered why sometimes my comments went straight to the top. I've lost too much productivity here, clearly! ;)
- manmal 9y agoYeah I only know because I‘ve watched my posts gain better positions when I hit 1k karma (iirc).
- Dangeranger 9y agoI have also seen new comments spring to the top of the conversation, but always assumed they were selected randomly, as some of them were from posters who were fairly new or had a low karma count.
- manmal 9y agoI guess this happens if the other posters are of low karma, or if the other comments are quite old.
