Feature suggestion: Allow one to sort a user’s comments by the number of votes.
Context: I saw a comment by Paul Christiano, and realized that probably a significant portion of the views expressed by a person lie in comments, not top-level posts. However, many people (such as Christiano) have written a lot of comments, so sorting them would allow one to find more valuable comments more easily.
Hm, you can already browse comments by a user, though. I don’t think high-voted comments being more easily accessible would make things worse (especially since high-voted comments are probably less-likely to contain politically sensitive statements).
I don’t agree, but for a separate reason from trevor.
Highly-upvoted posts are a signal of what the community agrees with or disagrees with, and I think being able to more easily track down karma would cause reddit-style internet-points seeking. How many people are hooked on Twitter likes/view counts?
Or “ratio’d”.
Making it easier to track these stats would be counterproductive, imo.
