Ok I muted a couple people. I will unmute them when it is over. It turned into a real Lord of the Flies situation. If you were writing a dissertation on human behaviour this would be a great experiment to draw conclusions from.

I would like to write a research paper using Stacker News data if @k00b and @ek would allow it :)

I would even happily grant coauthorship status which is sometimes a courtesy given to data providers

I think data from SN could get published in journals like Games and Economic Behavior or Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization. Possibly some crypto/computer journals as well but I'm less familiar with those
