Now that there’s a top comments list, could you maybe edit your comment an add a note to the effect that this was part of The Irrationality Game? No offense, but newcomers that click on Top Comments and see yours as the record holder could make some very premature judgments about the local sanity waterline.
Given that most of the top comments are meta in one way or another it would seem that the ‘top comments’ list belongs somewhere other than on the front page. Can’t we hide the link to it on the wiki somewhere?
The majority of the top comments are quite good, and it’d be a shame to lose a prominent link to them.
Jack’s open thread test, RobinZ’s polling karma balancer, Yvain’s subreddit poll, and all top-level comments from The Irrationality Game are the only comments that don’t seem to belong, but these are all examples of using the karma system for polling (should not contribute to karma and should not be ranked among normal comments) or, uh, para-karma (should contribute to karma but should not be ranked among normal comments).
