Was there any change in behavior...other than a new target for complaints? I'm curious about how much editorial activity users do, particularly since mine seems erratic at best.
Maybe it could be a profile option at 50 karma [aka badge]. Even at the risk of people saying HN is turning into StackOverflow, gamification for editorial engagement may be worth pursuing.
It was too soon to have observed any change in behavior. But the feedback was more negative than positive, and it did visually disrupt the front page—not something we want to do without a strong reason.
