This title manipulation is the reason I abandoned my real account on HN. I just don't want that someone else change what I wrote while keeping my name on it.
I won't go as far as accusing HN for impersonation (if that's the name), but please, if you change original title, at least remove original submitter name.
- orenbarzilai 13y agoBut if you publish post using "fake" accounts I assume that these accounts have low karma and most of your posts won't make it to the main page thus no one will read them.
- levosmetalo 13y agoI don't care about karma, and didn't care about it even in my old account. I just don't want my real name next to what someone else wrote. And no, this account is not "fake". If I have to hide my real identity here on HN because of such behaviour, this could be just a sign of more serious problem with this so called "moderation".
- amirmc 13y agoPosting news stories on HN is independent of karma. Posts end up on the front page because people upvote them, not because the poster has high karma.
- speeder 13y agoMore or less. Many times I submitted a article and it got ignored and then someone popular posted it stay and got 300+ upvotes. But it is not really karma related,.and more if people remember your nickname.
- pseut 13y agoIt's also possible that the "popular" user has high karma because he or she is good at timing submissions.
