Hacker News already has limits surrounding reply levels...

  No, it doesn't. It hides the "reply" link for deeply nested comments, but you can still always reply by clicking on "link" to view just the comment itself.

    It might seem that way, but that's not true. There's a genuine timer. If you click on the `link' view, you probably just took long enough to run out the timer.

      I stand corrected. Perhaps they changed the behaviour?
      • TeMPOraL 12y ago
        As far as I can tell it was always that way.

  The more deeply nested a comment, the longer it takes for the "Reply" link to show up. If you wait, then refresh, then you get the link, and you can reply directly. You can always click the "Link" link, and that shows the comment directly with reply options, no delay. But you've probably worked that out now.
