It would be a risky strategy because those commenters could get banned.
- sliverstorm 13y agoBut unlike flagging, there is no minimum karma requirement to get involved in a flame war, right?
- lmkg 13y agoRisky for real commenters who care about their presence on HN. Effectively consequence-free for astroturfers.
- belorn 13y agoNew accounts can be handled differently by the flame war flamewar detector than established accounts. That is, if this is a actually problem and not only a theoretical one.
- rbanffy 13y agoNot a big problem if you grow a constant number of expendable accounts. If I were an astroturfer, grooming accounts would be part of my daily routine. I'd probably automate it too.
- adamconroy 13y agoI didn't know I could be banned. Now that has piqued my interest, sounds like a challenge.
- adamconroy 13y agoOkay, looks like I am on track. Attempt at humour is a gateway drug to being banned.
