Are you sending it out to your friends and asking them to upvote it? I read a pg comment that mentioned there are mechanisms on HN to deal with "voting rings"... So if you submit something and ask a bunch of people to upvote it each time, I believe it does something. I could be wrong, but trying to offer some ideas.

View on HN

Besides voting rings, another annoyance I have is people creating throwaway accounts to add positive, but content-free, comments a story.. literally minutes later.

I wish there was a 48h delay between the creation of an account and being able to post your first comment.

I wouldn't expect this to solve all our problems, but I think it would help.

I've read the same pg comment. I'm pretty sure that Des is not doing this. Thanks though.
