Poll: Orange Names
Now that some time has passed, I'm curious what everyone else thought about the orange-names experiment. (In case you are not a Hacker News addict, a couple weeks ago there was a period where people with a comment-score-average of 3.5 got to have their names appear in orange.)

- dsil 18y agoMeh, good comments tend to rise to the top without orange names. And with threaded comments it doesn't make much sense to jump around to orange users, so I don't see much point.
- tokenadult 18y agoI liked knowing what the numerical criteria for orange display of usernames were set at. That allows me to check my own contribution to HN along another dimension besides raw karma count.
- peregrine 18y agoI don't really think the way it was implemented works. There could be stories in the new category that few people read that you comment on. And just cause nobody saw does not mean it was a poor comment. My two cents.
- pg 18y agoI didn't like them. (They're not coming back, at least not as implemented before.)

- alabut 18y agoDid you see my suggestion to make the names darker rather than orange? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=467461 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=467461

- davi 18y agoI didn't like them, but it was a good experiment.
