P.S. your workaround proved me wrong because it spoke for itself.
The workaround mainly addresses one downside to the situation.
Creating a systematic, money-moderated approach to protect the community from (self-proclaimed) wealthy individuals using their economic power to manipulate the community is no easy task. We've all seen @k00b spend weeks thinking aloud in the saloon and comments of release posts, trying to find a solution.
The problem is that the system, being both open-loop and money-moderated, gives an advantage to those with external finances over those who don’t have as much. And let's be honest, that latter group is likely the majority, especially given the former "earn with posts" narrative.
This is why we want to show that even on SN, money isn’t everything. If we stand together and support each other, we can counteract a lot of the disruptions through simple actions. After all, we do live in a novel age of non-discriminatory empowerment now.
You're absolutely right! And thank you for the thoughtful words you reserved for us.
I didn't mean to say that you were criticizing the team, sorry if it came that way
I took that as an occasion to remind everyone we're always present day and night (thanks timezones!), that we're not on a pedestal, and nobody should ever put us on a pedestal because we're all Stacker News people.
It's always heartwarming to see people come together and find a solution, just wanted to tell you guys that we have your back.
