Doesn't a user's karma say more about how much time they have to contribute to Hacker News than about how good their judgment is?

- rms 19y agoit certainly says much more about the time spent contributing than anything about quality
- robg 19y agoI suppose you'd just have to exclude submissions where the total points never reached some predetermined floor - say 5 or 10 points. That would eliminate all the points accumulated from submissions and comments that were not received well. And you'd still have a measure of the users who "understand" the community.
