SiteMeter in the sidebar was the cause of this. It has been removed.

Karma: 209
2 karma points are now required to start a new discussion. We’ll see how this goes at reducing the spam.
I received a lot of errors over the weekend relating to a performance regression introduced in the last set of changes. Eugine, you were one of the people affected by these errors. I released a fix for this yesterday and have not seen those errors since. Work is also underway to migrate to a new database server.
John implemented the new feature, I just integrated it and deployed it.
Ok, it has been reverted.
I’ve verified the numbers, thomblake has posted 2538 down votes. 93t is 11801 in base 36. Adding 436 articles drop the percentage slightly to 20.7%.
If you visit your user page then click Hidden in the top bar it will list posts you’ve hidden.
That looks like a reasonable workaround. With Markdown you can embed images so your image above can be embedded directly:
the Golden ratio is
.I’ve also added a feature request for jsMath.
Quick fix deployed. I did some analysis of user’s down vote count and karma. This change allows everyone to down vote that doesn’t have a massively skewed down vote to karma ratio (Like 21 to 2 or 548 to 137). Obviously this still leaves thomblake roughly 500 short.
It was mistakenly assumed that most people’s down vote count would not be approaching their karma, particularly for high karma users. I’ll do some more research and discuss it with Eliezer.
The comment listing has a drop down ‘Sort By’ at the top of the listing. If you change this to ‘Old’ it will sort the comments in reverse chronological order. As far as I’m aware the setting is stored and will be applied when you view comment listings in the future.
italics is done with asterisks (*). See the help link on the bottom right of the comment text area.
You’re correct, John deliberately changed this as he thought it was a bug. I’ll chat to some people to work out what the desired behaviour is.
Your fix for the incorrect median calculation has been deployed.
Morendil your latest patch has been applied and deployed. We took the liberty of inverting the preference for two reasons: Firstly it made more sense for the checkbox to be checked when the kibitzer was enabled and secondly we added a note that full compatibility requires Firefox for now, the text of which was hard to phrase with the uncheck to enable behaviour.
Some changes to karma have been deployed today. Posts will now show scores less than zero, previously scores below zero were shown as zero. Votes on posts are now worth 10 points up or down to the contributor. Also the threshold to be able to post is now 50, up from 20.
The inbox is a feature that came for free with the Reddit codebase but it was “lost” when the site was restyled. You will notice that the formatting of inbox page is totally messed up, this is also because it wasn’t included in redesign. Notification of replies is on the list of things to implement but there’s some higher priority work going on at the moment. Since it is a small change and many people seem to be requesting it I hope that we will get to it soon.
A full comment page (with feed) is now available via the Comments tab.
Full content in the RSS feed has been implemented now.
Fix for this and issue 327 has been deployed.
