It also might simply cause people to work around the feature, by adding new top-level comments (that are actually replies to nested comments). I will be interested to see how well it works.
- philwelch 18y agoOpening "link" in another tab is a better workaround.
- benreesman 18y agoHopefully the delay is enforced at the server. Have you checked to see if opening 'link' in another tab defeats the restriction?
- philwelch 18y agoI'm doing it right here. (I should clarify that you don't need to actually use another tab.)
- tracy 18y agoYes, it works. Click on link, open in new tab and you can reply just fine.
- byrneseyeview 18y agoIt looks a little strange to have no replies on the comment at the bottom of the screen (especially given the 'link' feature). Perhaps we could keep the 'link' exception, but just incorporate its use into the flagging algorithm (e.g. people who use it a lot get treated as if every comment they made has been flagged X times).
- benatkin 18y agoThat's an easy workaround.
- Dilpil 18y agoIndeed.
- xenophanes 18y agoNeat.

- pg 18y agoAs you guys have discovered, the restriction is in the code that generates the reply links, not the code that receives the replies. I'm hoping this will suffice.
- edd 18y agoReminds me of when Reddit removed the vote count on anything less than an hour old. You could still view the vote by clicking details on the link.
- Hexstream 18y agoMay I inquire about your thought process with respect to security implications when you wrote this code? A. "I know this is sloppy and will be found out sooner or later, but I hope people will respect the restriction anyway." B. "I know this is sloppy, but I hope nobody will find out." C. "This isn't really sloppy, as I know full well the security implications and don't care about them at all." D. Didn't really think about the implications.
- pg 18y agoC is the closest, but this is not even a question of security.
- bisceglie 18y agotrue. but i would love to see the community work with this, to keep the quality up. but at the same time, i'd consider myself anti-over-moderation, and optimistic enough to wish for self-government (through social interaction). though not to appear too much the commie-pinko-leftist...
