no points in comments: very interesting, a lot less bias. Unfortunately fast scanning of the best things is compromised. Probably it's still a good idea to avoid points, at least for a few days. When the comment is old enough there is no reason to don't show points again.
- calibraxis 16y agoThoughts on skimming: * Very high-rated posts could be distinguished subtly. (Maybe a small element is bolded or italicized.) * Skimming might actually be a symptom of something wrong. Like too many low-signal posts in a thread. Also, maybe skimming even correlates with people posting too fast, or the point system leads to worse posts. * There are other skim-markers. For example, post length and author. * Maybe skimming using points isn't actually faster. Could people be wasting time judging whether the post's worth the points?
- kunley 16y agoInteresting idea with the time T1 when comment wuld be so old that the score could be shown. But there's also existing timestamp T2 when the comment is too old to vote. How you'd suggest to relate T1 & T2?
