This was a neat post... Last year, on Reddit. I'm not sure that it's newsworthy today, especially Hacker News-worthy.
HN is turning into a Reddit clone, with all the karma mongering included.
Please refer to: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Specifically the passage "If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit."
I know I sound mean quoting guidelines, but this happens surprisingly often and I can't help myself whenever it does :)
