Does the number and length of comments affect points?
- mkempe 12y agoIt would be interesting to multiply points for comments that are well-written (readable [1], good grammar & rich vocabulary [2], with a couple of footnotes or references), neither too short nor too long.

- swombat 12y agoI don't know that it affects points, but it definitely affects ranking. A post with more comments than points is likely to trigger the flame war detector and have the same effect as the post being flagged severely.
