While you are there, go through dang’s comments timeline https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=dang

Moderating something like HN is a very hard job. Gratitude .

I’ve had a few run-ins with dang. Every post I write nowadays I have to reread carefully to soften any sharp edges and avoid getting into trouble, but I don’t always have time to double check a comment if I’m in a hurry. I wonder if there is a hidden reputation score or if it’s all just based off of dang’s memory. Public karma scores are mostly useless except as a vanity metric.
