I appreciate you pointing out the nuances in how it might play out, not just for the user, but also for the moderation of it behind the scenes. The pains and scalability of moderation is something I've thought about a lot when I've been imagining myself as the admin/moderator, yet, oddly enough, I easily forget about it when I just think about myself as the user. For example, as a user on HN, I've often felt so lost in having conversations longer than a day, because I only notice upticks in my karma (is that what it's called here?) number and if someone replied to something not on the first page of my threads, then it may as well disappear. So I've wondered why HN doesn't have notifications, yet maybe there's a hidden moderation pain that I'm not imagining behind the scenes.
