Hacker News Reader

Interesting. If you go to this user's comments, their other comments are from reddit as well. Possible way to farm karma by picking the top voted comment on reddit and reposting it onto HN?

I guess? What's weird is that while my comment is decently written, it's not like it particularly racked up much karma on Reddit to begin with (a whopping 3 points atm), the topic of VDOM management is not likely to be a huge hotbed of upvotes anyway, and the fact that I was replying to someone else to begin with means that just dropping it in here obviously makes it read very awkwardly.

Strange.

It was spammers, presumably trying to build up karma on HN. Needless to say we've banned them and will continue to do so.

Strange, maybe it's a bot or something like that...
