Potential HN karma hack: create new account and post stories from Reddit that haven't already appeared. That's not necessarily what happened here, but I am slightly suspicious.

this is the first time I've seen someone even mention 'karma' on HN. It used to be a complete non-issue.

@pg - can we just remove the karma score? People should contribute because they feel they have something to add to the community, not to get points.

I can almost see the jokes about "i want to see the unit tests" and "doesn't work on furries or avatar porn" etc. On a more serious note, this sort of stuff is hard. Google images does a shitty job of it from some slightly unexpected experiences. Good on people for having a go at the problem!

this sort of stuff is hard. .. Good on people for having a go

I see what you did there :-P

A few years ago, I was in a big box store and overheard a young (~10y/o) child and his mother picking out a new video game. The kid excitedly picked up a box and asked his mom if he could get that one. She checked out the cover, then started reading the rating.

"Rated 'mature' for sexual content? No way!"

"Aw, man! Ok, how about this one?"

"Rated 'mature' for extreme graphic violence? Well... ok."

Karma score is good. I may feel I have something to contribute; karma tells me if I did.

I run some newsletters like JavaScript Weekly and Ruby Weekly. I frequently see items I posted a day or two ago pop up on HN, sometimes even with my Google Analytics tags left in the URL ;-)

This time though.. nude.js was covered 60 issues ago. But still, probably plenty of links in those archives to be submitted(!)
