I’d like to see social credit score mechanisms hidden. Reputation systems reinforce cults of celebrity and turns nerds into tyrannical hall monitors.

- cactusplant7374 9mo agoA lot of it is hidden. If you offend the moderators they put restrictions on your account.
- direwolf20 9mo agoNo they don't. There are no hidden restrictions on HN.
- reaperducer 9mo agoI guess you've never been greeted with "You're posting too fast!" on your first post of the day.
- lossolo 9mo agoDepends on what you mean by hidden restrictions. If someone's ability to vote is disabled without notifying them, and they can still upvote or downvote but it has no effect, would you call that a hidden restriction?

- fzeroracer 9mo agoThere are, Dang has talked publicly about some of the mechanisms they've used to try and deter bad posting. Most of them are gone iirc (such as shadow banning and artificially slowing down the site) but rate limiting is still one of the mechanisms they have in place.
