Getting 500 karma is a trivial task and not some tiny group. Are there any HN regulars (that don't just lurk) that don't have that much karma?
The point is a flag has higher weight than an upvote, and it's easy to get the ability to flag posts.
Right, again, my point: the cohort of people who can be flagging these articles is quite large. It's not a small number of gatekeeping old-timers.
dang has admitted that flagging carries more weight than voting, we just don't know what the weighing is.
Sure, sounds right.
