Maybe you can submit twice, but it costs you 10 karma or something the second time you submit...

  Better yet, make it cost you 10 karma to submit it in the first place and then the noise on the new page would all be gone.

    And better even yet, allow you to spend more karma points to give it a higher initial score. And still better, when a thread gets archived (when the comment thread becomes read-only; happens after some N days), add its current score delta (the number of points it has now, minus the number it had when you initially invested yours) back into the user's karma, times some coefficient (possibly just 1.) And finally, allow anyone to do this (invest karma; reap eventual score-delta rewards), not just the initial poster. Bam: average-sized link futures market.

      I like the sound of this game, much more interesting than just reading techy news all day. What do we get when we win? Is it better than the knowledge I currently get? Something like kudos from people I'll never meet? remove tongue from cheek Seriously, why? This would seem to me to be the perfect way to breed people who care more about karma than content... and they're the problem, IMHO.

        Seems to me that all the people who have lots of karma don't care about it, and just got it as a side effect of contributing. Now they're all[1] leaving, or participating less. [1] For some definition of 'all'.
