I never wrote an article to LW—is it possible for the author to move their article from Main to Discussion? Or is some moderator help needed?
EDIT: A nice functionality would be also to move one’s article from Discussion to Open Thread, preserving the comment structure below the article. (This is not related to the article about CEOs, just generally.)
I don’t think Discussion > Open is ever going to happen, realistically. I can imagine that being a pretty big nightmare, coding wise, but I’m not sure.
It’s possible to move articles around. However, I believe that karma votes are saved as the value where they were originally given- and so if you write a main article, it gets downvoted to −4, and then moved to discussion, and upvoted (by different people) to 0, then the net karma change is (by my understanding) −36.
Which is also a disincentive to write great discussion posts then move them to main, since the votes aren’t magnified.

I think an admin has already moved it for me.
