So a hacker who has been reading HN everyday while coding his product, but does not post often; is not allowed to post RMS anymore?

- wushupork 16y agoI'm in your boat. I read HN pretty religiously but don't have much time to comment or follow up on comments. Every time I even think about doing that I'd almost always rather spend more time obsessing about my product. Thus I barely have any karma points. But every once in a while, I like to post my latest project.
- markitechtMA 16y agoDitto. I'm building, grinding on customer discovery, reading HN to stay informed (and maybe a little entertained). Also, most of what I read on HN is stuff that is outside my comfort zone, and therefore I am not as able to comment as I would be if I stuck to reading topics with which I am already very familiar.
- blahedo 16y agoYou "barely have any karma points"?? Your profile says you have 453... that's going to be far, far, far over any threshold pg is likely to set.
- gsmaverick 16y agoYou could ask a community member with an established account to consider posting your startup as suggested earlier.
- wushupork 16y agoSo here's my counterpoint to that: Then that established community member gets even more karma points for posting that. You still have that same problem where I, the perpetual lurker who occasional contributes a comment or a post every now and then, never gets to build their karma points. It's still like WoW. You put in the time and you get the exp/karma/level what have you.
