Instead of banning and charging,HN could double down on trust signal,like device reputation,posting velocity limits,and stronger weighting of upvotes from long standing accounts.
- thegrim33 5mo agoI analyzed multiple months of submissions for rule breaking / political content and the vast, vast, majority of them came from the same ten or so 50-200k upvotes power user accounts. The most "trusted" accounts on this site are the worst offenders.
- plytow 5mo agoThere are some users that 100% are protected by mods. Users will get threatened and scolded for getting mildly confrontational on a tech topic, but plenty of user can flamebait endlessly in political threads unimpeded.
- dang 5mo agoYou guys may have unrealistic expectations. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here. If you're asking for something humanly impossible, remember that there are only 2 of us.
- wglb 5mo agoHere is a typical day's posting tally job 2 flagged 204 dead 336 story 1664 delayed 687 comment 12312 That is approximately 513 comments each hour or 8.55 each minute. Not humanly possible for two moderators to view and make judgement on even a small fraction of these comments.
- bttfuchsia 5mo agoBut if you say anything against it, you get downvoted and dang reminds you to read the guidelines which are intentionally vague and are misused all the time for vendettas. It’s a rigged system to start with.
- dang 5mo agoThat doesn't sound accurate to me. I'd like to see links to this.
- tptacek 5mo agoDevice reputation on HN would be a pretty funny thing for them to attempt.
