For vote-centric message board systems, intuition tells me it's best to nip something like this in the bud before it all goes downhill, regardless of current status.
It's hard to deny that we've all (those who've been reading for a while) noticed even the slightest decline in quality and an increase in unbiased contributions.
Decline is inevitable but minimizing the rate thereof is not.
- mindcrime 16y agoI'm not disagreeing with your sentiment, I'm just saying that I don't expect a complicated solution to be implemented anytime soon. I'm basing this on what I've noticed of pg's posts on the topic, and what the man himself has said about his perception of the quality of HN. Of course I can't read minds, and for all I know pg is already halfway through coding something exactly like what you described. :-)
