On the contrary, it seems to me that information cascades would be better avoided by separating out voting on the comments “where they occur” from voting on them as “nominees” in this thread.
I had assumed the purpose of this thread was to identify these comments so that they could be collected elsewhere (perhaps offsite) in a “List of Best LW Comments”, ordered by how they score in this thread.
I prefer Grognor’s way. Voting on comments in this thread should be based on the value added by comments in this thread. Basing voting on the value added by the original comments would just create an incentive for people to mass-repost the top comments feed.
