I would be interested to see a list of the best HN comments as judged not by raw karma points but as:
karma points of the comment / karma points of the post
- byrneseyeview 17y agoWill probably be dominated by "This is a repost; here's the original."
- quizbiz 17y agogood point so have it only apply if the topic itself has more than 15-25 points?
- kqr2 17y agoTo correct for karma "inflation", how about: karma points of comment / total HN karma points at time of comment posting In other words, rank comments as a % of total karma points at the time.
- froo 17y agoAgreed, this would be closer to a correct outcome. Especially for users like me who generally comment in offpeak times (being on the other side of the world) and usually come to a discussion many many hours after it has long died down, so his comments remain at the bottom of the page, ignored.
- cubicle67 17y agoI assume you mean total HN karma points of all users, not just of the poster. If the later, everyone's first post would be their best :)
