How and who determines karma points on HN?
I'm a newbie, and I'm just wondering who screens what submissions to display and who determines karma points on HN? Sometimes I submit a link and I don't see it appearing here. Then I get 1 point, hehe. Is there an FAQ I missed reading? Pls enlighten. Thanks.
- mooism2 15y agoOh, and there is a faq... http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html ...linked at the bottom of this page.
- mooism2 15y agoNewly submitted links appear on the new page. http://news.ycombinator.com/newest http://news.ycombinator.com/newest When someone upvotes a link you submitted or a comment you wrote, you get a karma point. When links get enough points in a short enough period of time, they appear on the front page.

- monirz77 15y agoI consider myself one. The account was created 551 days ago, but my first ever post was 240 days ago. I hardly get on here, I travel a lot (for fun), and have probably accumulated more airline miles than my HN mileage, go figure :)
