Ask HN: What are your thoughts on the HN scoring algorithm and penalty policy?

[justinelof]

I personally think that there is good content being missed and am annoyed when something gets randomly pushed down when it's obviously getting a lot of attention. Just curious what others think.

Please clarify: Is your complaint that HN is too much like Reddit, or not enough?

[justinelof]

Neither, this wasn't a comparison to Reddit, tho I see why you would make that parallel.
