It is, actually. Comments by users with over 10k karma go live immediately.
- lancewiggs 13y agoI like the intent. Given that karma is a function of votes from articles posted as well as net votes from comments made, is there a way to use the second but not the first for karma limits related to comments?
- tptacek 13y agoReally? Are you sure about that decision? If it were my site, I'd decide the other way, if only because I'd worry about the interaction between high-karma commenters that can rapid-fire respond and normal users who have to wait.
- pg 13y agoI don't think people will have to wait so much they'll notice, but we'll see.
- waterlesscloud 13y agoUnfortunate, and I say that as a user with more than 10k karma. All comments should earn their endorsements on their own. High karma users are as capable of mean/stupid comments as anyone.
- dfc 13y agoIt looks like the number of users with >10k karma ≈ 0.3%[^1] Do you have any estimate of number of users >5k and >1k? [^1]: https://hn-karma-tracker.herokuapp.com/overall https://hn-karma-tracker.herokuapp.com/overall
