I have access to a copy of the LW database because I’m coordinating the addition of new features to the site between SIAI and Tricycle. I don’t have any admin privileges on the live site or promotion powers or anything else that anyone else doesn’t have though.
I’ve been trying to think of more site stats to add for people. I think a top commenter list might be nice… or at least having it appear in people’s profiles so everyone can check their own stats. If there’s interest, I can work on that or get someone else to add it.
I would love to be able to sort my own contributions by (Popular, New, Old, Controversial) the same way we can sort comments on a post. I’d also like Unpopular as a sort key there.
Basically, I use comment karma as a way of getting feedback on what people think is good and bad, but having to page through all of my comments looking for items with a high absolute value is awkward. The current arrangement seems to assume that comment karma scores don’t vary much after a few days, and that just isn’t true.
Less valuably but still interestingly, I’d like to be able to do the same with other people’s contributions… e.g., find the most popular comments someone else has made.
I’d also like to be able to do this, especially for other people. When I’m checking someone’s profile and wondering “who is this person?”, being able to see their highest karma posts/comments would be a quick way to get some information about them.
“I’ve been trying to think of more site stats to add for people.”
I’d like to see average score per comment. I.e., karma from comments divided by number of comments made. Hacker News puts this number in the profile.
(Actually, I prefer karma divided by words posted but karma divided by comments posted conforms better to people’s expectations because other sites like HN use it.)
