		aston on June 11, 2008 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: My New Instant Karma Plan Yeah, I was going to write a bot do the same with xkcd, TechCrunch, and (especially) PG's essays. The benefits are twofold: The community gets extremely quick exposure to content it seems to really appreciate, and no user gets huge karma just for being the first to submit PG's new essay. Save the karma for people finding things you couldn't find yourself. edit: Pretty uncool how people are dogging on your post just because you're new here. I just wanted to post that I agree, despite not being new here and not being particularly hurting for karma.

Newness has nothing to do with it. We welcome and embrace newbies all the time.

They're probably dogging on his post because he has struck a sensitive nerve.
