the underelying stories are being added to and re-written. this story (for example) is a supplemental piece. even the eiarlier story has had its headline changed (by the publisher) and had extensive revisions to its text/body.
Problem is--the comments--aren't going to reflect this.
So, the issue is this becomes a corner case. By banishing all articles besides the first one, the comments get locked into a single worldview--one that is less informed.
Its sort of a catch-22 of actively moderating a #hot-topic
- dragonwriter 12y agoA better idea than submitting a near dupe might be to post a comment to the active thread addressing the update, in which case the comments may all be in one place, but it will no longer be less informed.
- 001sky 12y agoThis would be good if it was stickied at the top. But that's not how HN comments, as a default, work. (Mod's might be able to sticky a reference comment, tho)
