A way to export the list of articles in 'Saved Stories', either by way of an export function or an RSS feed (public/private) of the page.

After many years of enjoying Hacker News I now have a long list of great articles that I have liked, upvoted and in a sense 'bookmarked'. Right now, even though we can view these articles on the website, we can't download the list in any useful fashion or format.

Actually, adding RSS feeds to other pages like "best", "new" and the new function "over?points=" would be very useful as well...

In the case of duplicate submissions (or submissions of multiple stories reporting the same news), it would be good if high-karma users had the ability to re-direct the post to the previous HN thread. This would be better than the current situation where they get a few comments and then someone posts a link to the previous HN thread.

A HN Rising Star list

A list of HN members with average karma scores over 6{arbitrarily selected} sorted by dates they joined with the earlier you join being the high up on the list you will be.

Also, a minimum time of a 100 days{arbitrarily selected} on HN before you can appear on the list.

Hopefully, it will motivate new members to contribute quality content given the possibility of early recognition.

Location: It would be nice to divide posts based on locations. We have lot of posts from SF Bay area, NYC, other metros, UK, Germany, India etc...and it's all jumbled up.

Specially for jobs or networking purpose it would be really helpful to search posts by location.

Better support for w3m

Currently hacker news answers w3m's post request with this error message:

  Post request without Content-Length.
This prevents w3m users to login into Hacker News.

This issue has also been reported on the arc forum: http://www.arclanguage.org/item?id=4419

Name of post-killing moderator. Instead of just [dead] have [killed by flags] if post is auto-killed due to users flagging. or [killed by _username_] if killed by a user.

Fine if this is even just for high-karma users; but there has been some complaints about moderators going too far, and this would add some accountability.
