The way scoring works on HN is importantly different though. Highly downvoted comments get greyed, but when a comment is highly upvoted, only the author sees. I can't see what your highest-scoring comments are. There's also a publicly visible total karma associated with each account, but it's not displayed prominently. I don't think submission scoring is particularly problematic.
