Do people pay attention to who submits items? I never do. Maybe the display of the submitter could be removed without any loss.

- clarky07 12y agoYes they do. Some people can get to front page at will. Now, whether that's good or not is a different discussion, but people trust their judgement so they get more weight.

- gravedave 12y agoI think he primarily referred to other readers, this topic was posted by a submitter.
- chrisBob 12y agoI don't usually pay any attention to who submitted something, and one of the biggest issues I see with HN is the imbalance in points between someone who submits an article and someone who has valuable input in the discussion. Half of my karma is from 2 submissions but I think a good comment is much more valuable that being the first person to submit a link.
