Suggest HN: subcomments Karma
I hope this wasn't suggested before:
Instead of just ordering comments by Karma, I would suggest counting
the Karma of the subcomments as well, however at a certain discount
rate, depending on the how many parents that comment has. eg:
comment Karma
¦- 0.8 * subcomment
¦-- 0.4 * subsubcomment
¦--- 0.1 * subsubsubcomment
I think this would help bringing interesting but controversial
discussions, sparked by a comment, to the top even though their actual
karma count might be quite low (because of a lot of down- and
upvotes).
