If karma average were based on only those comments between 6 and 50 points, everyone's average would be between 6 and 50 points. That's not the case.
Can you elaborate?

- jaysonelliot 15y agoI see, thanks. I misunderstood your comment to mean that karma was calculated on comments between 6 and 50 points, instead of what you meant, which is the last 50 comments minus the five most recent. Unfortunately, it doesn't weight for in-depth discussions or comments on less-popular articles.
- loup-vaillant 15y agoIn the hope you see my reply: LessWrong has a partial solution for this (possibly inherited from reddit). When you log in, you can see if anyone replied to one of your comments, and you can go to a page listing such replies. It is therefore encourages looong threads of discussions, much of which are worth my while in LessWrong. It is also possible to reply to years old comments. About the karma end of the problem, one could try to weight karma by the inverse of exposure. Right now, early comments are disproportionately voted up, while later comments can be nearly totally ignored even if they're very good. But that's a big change, easy to screw up (not to mention it may be a bad idea to begin with).
