Is this thread some kind of self-referential joke? This is the most Redditish thread I've ever seen on news.yc.

jraines19 lat temu

Yes.

My favorite kind of joke.

Man on cell: "No, I'm just saying you're being unresponsive. Unresponsive! Hello?"

Yeah, it amused me. Also I'm considering changing the post title to either:

Upvote if you love Hitler.

or

Upvote if you think being able to edit post titles is weird.

And I needed a frontpage post to do that with.

However, it's good to be able to fix typos in your posts, and it hasn't actually been abused yet (as far as I know), so maybe I shouldn't.

Edit: I'm not going to, OK?

Upvote if you hate cheap attempts to gain karma.

Upvote this comment if you agree, but don't want to fall for vlad's trick.

There's two things you can do:

* convince pg to work on better control policies;

* write your own alternative with better ones.

I just read about this place on programming.reddit.com, and I noticed how much better it was! Pretty soon, everyone else will too... (And wait until the trolls figure out that they can't be modded down here.)

Comments can be downmodded without problems.

I think you need a certain amount of karma before you can downmod comments.

edit: curi beat me to it

curi19 lat temu

You can't downmod comments until you have a certain amount of karma. I think it's around 25.

Edit: lol someone downmodded this. obviously mad about something else i posted. I hope he doesn't think of going through my comment history and downmodding them all. Hopefully he's too dumb to find it here:

You, sir, are a genius! We also need to watch out for those diggers. I hear they are even worse and ruined reddit to begin with. We must fight against the encroaching dark.
