That rule change is not about stopping someone like tomerico from submitting stories (he has a lot of karma and submits only sporadically), it’s about reducing the volume of stories on the “New” page and giving them more exposure, right?
I was already about to write a retort because at first I didn’t understand the mechanism by which this rule change would improve HN. Reducing the volume on the “New” page seems like a good idea, though.
- csomar 16y agoIf there is 500 eyeballs per hour for the new page and 30 new submissions, each one get on average 25-30 visits (a user hits a link or two). If we reduce new submissions 5 or 6 times, each story will get 150-200 hits and thus more coverage, enough to get it to the front page if it worths the FP.
