There was always a huge first-mover advantage to getting a high scoring comment... so I think your #1 above was actually a misleading signal.

Also that the first person to make a particular comment should be higher voted as repetition of the same insight isn't improving the thread.
- grandalf 16y agoIt's right for good comments that are read by more people to receive more votes. I don't agree with this. Just b/c someone was first to post a mediocre comment doesn't mean it's good or worth reading. Also, early posts are often knee-jerk and among the least thoughtful of the thread.
