Hey PG,
I think you're doing the right thing. I've watched HN start to turn into a place full of snark and very useless comments. This is a great measure, but is the 1000 points karma a high threshold for the endorsers? Why not 500 or 750?
- lunixbochs 13y agopg says 1000+ is arbitrary. It probably stands to be tuned. I wonder if this will have any effect on interesting comment sub-threads on links that don't hit the first couple of pages.
- belleruches 13y agoIt's probably going to be for the better. My biggest concern though is that HN may become to clique-ish... Those with low karma that have interesting thoughts may now be discouraged from sharing...
- lunixbochs 13y agoI don't think that will universally be the case. Low karma might also indicate you don't post much, so you're less likely to be annoyed.
- camus2 13y agoAs HN becomes more popular,it will attract more and more uselss commenters.
