With a delay on 'approval' from when it was posted, and a karma split to all submitters, why wouldn't I just watch /newest and repost all the articles that get submitted that look like they have even a little traction.
I then don't have to come up with any new articles, I just watch /newest and leech karma from everybody who submits anything worthwhile.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoBecause it doesn't even go to "newest" before either getting enough duplicates or enough time has elapsed?
- bmelton 16y agoAh, I didn't get that part. Yeah, that works. If you're going to have a plan in which karma is awarded for story submissions, that probably works as well as mine -- I just personally have found myself downvoting MUCH more than I ever have lately, trying to enforce quality. That most of the downvotes go to people with fairly young accounts isn't lost on me, and while I hate to be the old curmudgeon hollering about the decline of HN (especially since I haven't been here nearly as long as many,) I don't want the quality standards to suffer more unnecessarily.
